The aim of this capstone project is to identify how pediatric therapist can effectively and easily include treatment interventions based on constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and bimanual training into pediatric treatment sessions for clients diagnosed with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) and to advocate for their use. In discussing these evidence-based treatment strategies with pediatric colleagues, the perception is that thathese interventions need to be implementing in an intensive clinical setting. The goal of this capstone project is to dispel this perception and convey the need to meet our clients in their current environmental contexts. This paper discusses how to effectively implement these evidence-based treatment strategies into clinic and school setting treatment sessions. In addition, this paper identifies how to implement home programs and school programs based on these evidence-based treatment strategies. Lastly, this paper demonstrated how to lead the way to meeting the Centennial Vision and Vision 2025 by being influential in changing how and where children diagnosed with UCP receive evidence-based interventions.
