About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the implementation of Therapy Together, a pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy program in young children with unilateral cerebral palsy. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* Is the Therapy Together program effective in improving hand function and occupational performance compared to usual care? * Is it feasible to implement the Therapy Together program within the standard care, early intervention framework?

Participants will participate in an 8-week pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy program. Researchers will compare the group completing the Therapy Together Program to a group that is receiving usual care to see if there is a difference in the change in hand function, occupational performance, and development.
