Foco na investigação de recursos de avaliação e efeitos de diferentes programas de intervenção em crianças e adolescentes com paralisia cerebral, especialmente as terapias de alta intensidade. Nosso objetivo é contribuir para esclarecer os profissionais e as famílias sobre as diferentes abordagens de tratamento e promover a prática baseada em evidências. Investigamos não só sobre os efeitos de diferentes protocolos de intervenção, mas também as percepções das crianças e suas famílias sobre o que é feito na terapia.
