Barriers and facilitators to parent-delivered interventions for children with or infants at risk of cerebral palsy. An integrative review informed by behaviour change theory.

Purpose: Empowering parents to deliver evidenced-based interventions improves outcomes for children with or infants at risk of cerebral palsy (CP), by integrating repetition and contextual learning into daily routines. We aimed to identify the barriers and facilitators to parent-delivered interventions and suggest practice improvements guided by behaviour change models.
