Developing a Bimanual Task-Oriented Training Program for Young Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: A Delphi Consensus Study

This consensus-driven approach provides expert-supported therapeutic activities with the potential to be applied in real-world settings. Further research should incorporate stakeholder perspectives to validate these activities and assess their impact on outcomes for children with UCP. Plain-Language Summary: There are ongoing questions regarding whether task-specific training can effectively enhance daily performance in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). To address this issue, we developed a task-oriented training program with input from pediatric therapy experts. This program emphasizes essential self-care tasks, such as dressing, feeding, and hygiene. Through a consensus reached using Delphi rounds, 106 activities were created to help children practice and enhance their skills at home. These activities are intended to make daily tasks easier and improve children's independence. This program provides occupational therapists with a structured framework for implementing task-oriented interventions in real-world settings. Further research is necessary to assess the impact of these activities on improving the outcomes of children with UCP.
