Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and utility of 2 types of play-based training programs co-delivered by researchers and caregivers within home/community settings to promote arm function among 3-to-8-year-old children with hemiplegia. Specifically, investigators will assess the feasibility of implementation and acceptance/satisfaction associated with a researcher-caregiver co-delivered community-based training program involving either joystick-operated powered ride-on toys (SPEED training) or creative upper extremity training (CRAFT training). The investigators will also compare the effects of these 2 types of training programs on children's arm motor function and spontaneous use of their affected arm during daily activities.
Primary Outcome
Researchers and caregivers will maintain training logs to document the frequency (# of sessions/week) and duration (time per session) of training sessions. In the SPEED group, the ride-on toy will collect data on amount of device use during training sessions.
