About this trial

This exploratory randomized controlled trial will examine the feasibility and preliminary effects of a remote PREP intervention compared to an attention control for transition-age youth with cerebral palsy and their caregivers. Youth-caregiver dyads will complete remote baseline assessments and be randomized to a 12-week intervention or attention control, with weekly virtual sessions. Feasibility outcomes will be primary, with secondary outcomes exploring preliminary efficacy. Post-intervention assessments and optional interviews will be conducted remotely to capture outcomes and participant experiences.
