•Children and adolescents of both groups should be aged from 5 to 21 years old, also they must have a clear understand of the proposed activities. Statement of informed consent will be signed by a legal guardian. All participants from the experimental group (GCP) should have diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Additionally, they should be classified at levels I, II, or III of the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS). To standardizes the sample according to ICF, participants with CP should present musculoskeletal functions in the mobility of several joints of the upper limbs with mild and moderate deficiencies (b7101.1 and b7101.2), trunk muscle tonus with mild deficiency (b7355.1) and mild or moderate upper limb tonus (b7358.1 and b7358.2). Regarding to learning, application of knowledge, accomplishment of tasks and communication all individuals will have light deficits in concentration and attention (d160.11), in performing a simple task (d2100.11) and in receiving oral messages (d310.11). These domains were chosen because they are the most important to enable the execution of the proposed task of touching the computer key at the exact moment or enabling to move towards the virtual environment.

•Children that have undergone surgical procedures or has taken neurolytic block 12 months prior to the training sessions will be not included in the present research. Children with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level V (most severe CP) or who have severe visual or hearing impairments, or photosensitive epilepsy will be excluded. Furthermore, children with other pathologies and secondary disabilities will also be excluded, such as orthopedic deformity with indication for surgery, Epilepsy, Metal implant in the skull or use of hearing aids. ?
