Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is described as a 'bootcamp' for caregivers of infants diagnosed with or at high risk for cerebral palsy — can you help me understand whether my child's current diagnosis or risk level would even make this kind of program worth exploring?
2Since this trial is measuring caregiver knowledge, comfort, and confidence rather than direct outcomes for my baby, how does that fit alongside the actual physical and occupational therapy my child needs right now — would this replace, delay, or run alongside standard early intervention services?
3The trial isn't recruiting yet, so if we're interested, how long might we realistically have to wait before it opens, and is there anything similar already available that we could start in the meantime?
4A 6-week intensive program involving both PT and OT sounds like a significant time commitment — what does my doctor think about whether our family's schedule and situation could realistically support that kind of participation?
5Given that this is a Phase N/A study focused on caregiver education rather than a treatment trial, what does my doctor think we should prioritize first — enrolling in something like this, starting direct therapy for my child, or both at the same time?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
