Study Overview
Brief Summary
Ataxic CP is one type of cerebral palsy. children with ataxic cerebral palsy have trouble with balance and coordination. They may walk with their legs farther apart than other kids and have a hard time with activities that use small hand movements, like writing. Some also have trouble with depth perception This means being able to accurately judge how close or far away something is

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in overall stability index
Time Frame: baseline and after 3 months of intervention.
change in overall stability index will measured by using biodex balance system
