The aim of this study is to examine the effect of implanting the family-professional collaboration practice model on the functional goals achievement of children with CP and their caregivers' quality of life and burden. The children will be treated by physical therapists who will be assigned to two groups (control and experimental).
A randomized, single-blinded control study involved 28 physical therapists and 44 pairs of children with CP aged 2-12 years old and their caregivers will be assigned randomly into experimental and control groups. Physical therapists in the experimental group will receive two instructional sessions (3 hours each) to implement collaboration during the therapy sessions and physical therapists in the control group will receive no instructions. Children will receive 45- 60 minutes therapy sessions (5 sessions/week) for six weeks. Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) to measure the children's goals achievement change rate, the Arabic version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief (WHOQOL- Brief) to examine the caregivers' quality of life, and the Zarit Burden Interview Arabic Abridged version (ZBI-A) to evaluate the caregivers' burden will be used.

| Goals Attainments Scale (assessing change of the goals achievement from base line data) | Goals Attainments Scale (GAS) is a standardized scoring procedure to assess goal achievement and quantifies meaningful change. GAS consists of a 5-point Likert scale where (-2) is the lowest score at the baseline level, (-1) mean progression toward the goals but not reached (0) representing the expected level after the intervention (+1) showed better level than expected (+2) is the highest score which means the best possible level. | the goals will be identified in the end of the first session( first week) , re-assessment session conducted on the beginning of the session (15) in the third week , and final assessment was conducted in the beginning of the session (30)in the sixth week |
| World health organization quality of life- Brief assessing change of the quality of life from base line data) | It is a self-report questionnaire focus on measuring the respondents' perception of the last two weeks before administration. The four domains of QOL that are identified by WHO were assess as following; physical health (7 items); psychological health (6 items); social relationships (3 items), and environment (8 items). These items scored on a five-point Likert scale ranging from (1) mean strongly agree to (5) mean strongly disagree. | the children's caregiver will fill the WHOQOL-Brief questionnaire twice, in the beginning of the first session in the first week and at end of the session (30) last sessionsin the sixth week |
| Zarit Burden Interview- Arabic Abridged version assessing change of the burden from base line data) | The Zarit Burden Interview- Arabic Abridged version (ZBI-A) was used to measure caregiver burden. It consists of 12 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale from (0) which represents never to (4) almost always. The total score ranged from 0 to 48, where a higher score demonstrates more sense of burden | the children's caregiver will fill the ZBI-A questionnaire twice, in the beginning of the first session in the first week and at end of the session (30) last session in the sixth week |
