Brief description In Australia, 35,000 people have cerebral palsy, and between 60-70% experience difficulties with movement on both sides of their body. There are currently no effective interventions for children with bilateral CP to improve their ability to use their hands, walk and perform daily life tasks. We have promising data about a new intervention, called HABIT-ILE, which we will test in 80 children with cerebral palsy and compare results to usual care.
