Abstract	Background Intensive manual therapy is important for improving lifelong upper limb motor outcomes for infants and toddlers with cerebral palsy. This play-based therapy is delivered by caregivers who are coached by occupational therapists. However, access to this therapy is very limited for Canadian children with cerebral palsy younger than two years old. This project aims to first identify barriers and facilitators and then design implementation strategies to support early intensive manual therapy delivery for infants and toddlers with cerebral palsy across Canada. Methods A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design will be used with four consecutive phases. The updated Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research will guide the study. Quantitative data will be collected from a survey in Phase One. Participants will be recruited from three groups: (1) Caregivers of children with cerebral palsy six years old and younger who are eligible for manual therapy; (2) occupational therapists who treat children with cerebral palsy; and (3) healthcare administrators or people responsible for managing pediatric occupational therapy programs. In Phase Two, quantitative data from the survey will be used to map to implementation strategies known to be effective at addressing the identified modifiable barriers and facilitators. Phase Three will collect qualitative data from semi-structured interviews for the purpose of explaining Phase One quantitative findings in greater depth, and for understanding the appropriateness of strategies identified in Phase Two. The participant recruitment strategy and interview guide content for Phase Three will be informed by results of Phase One. Phase Four will use a modified nominal group technique to refine and prioritize an implementation strategy toolbox. Results will be widely disseminated to knowledge users to provide them with tailorable strategies to increase delivery of early intensive manual interventions. Discussion This study will provide a comprehensive understanding of the barriers and facilitators to implementation of early intensive manual therapy for young children with cerebral palsy in Canada. A toolbox of evidence-based and tailorable implementation strategies will be disseminated nationally to support uptake of early intensive manual therapy into clinical practice for young children with cerebral palsy.
