This study focuses on the caregiver's knowledge, comfort, and confidence in interacting with and supporting their infant with Cerebral Palsy (CP) or at high risk for Cerebral Palsy. Four caregivers with their infants will be in one cohort to assess the benefits of group intervention. The intervention is delivered in a group, bootcamp-style educational format led by clinical team including pediatric physiatrist, physical therapist and occupational therapist.

Concurrent enrollment in another intensive motor program
Profound sensory impairments that preclude group program participation
Single group
