In this study, the investigators aim to assess the clinical and neurophysiological effects of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique - transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)- on cortical plasticity and motor learning in children with cerebral palsy. Investigators will use different assessment techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and kinematics (sensors) to measure changes through the trial.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active tDCS | Experimental | Subjects will receive active tDCS stimulation for 5 sessions (20m/each) over one week. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) | Device | Subjects will receive tDCS stimulation 1x per day for 5 days (over the period of 1 week). Each session will be 20 minutes long. The subject will receive active stimulation for the entire 20 minutes. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in motor assessments | Investigators will measure changes in kinematic (sensor) assessments from baseline to follow-up. The sensor will collect Inertial Measurements Units (IMU) and complex motion sensing, as measured by accelerometer/gyroscope/magnetometer of freedom motion capture. | Approximately 2 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in TMS measurements | Investigators will measure change in TMS measurements from baseline to follow-up. TMS measures will consist of: motor threshold, motor evoked potentials (MEP's), transcallosal inhibition, and examinations of intracortical inhibition and facilitation. | Approximately 2 weeks |
