Summary
This study tests whether a training program for therapists can help them use powered mobility devices with young children (ages 12-32 months) who have severe cerebral palsy. Therapists will learn how to use the devices during everyday routines at home or in early childhood settings. The study will check if the training is practical and helpful for therapists, families, and children.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help young children with severe cerebral palsy gain more independence and participation in daily activities.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 24 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The training may not work as well in other settings or with different therapists.
