N2  - Abstract:  This study is a scoping review on the effectiveness of home Physical Therapy (PT) program parent/ primary caregiver administered in treating motor delay of children diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP). It is important that prior to assumption of effectiveness and general application of treatments, collation and analysis of available data should be performed. The first step in analysis of available evidence is to map out the literature for existing studies through scoping review that investigate articles that fits the topic and selection criteria.   A scoping review was conducted to search for articles indexed on PubMed, PEDRo, LILACS, ProQuest, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PT journal, Pediatric PT journal, and Hong Kong PT journal in compliance to the set of Selection Criteria. A Triangulation method of search was done and applied to the title screening, abstract screening, and full text review part to verify the articles found on every database.  A total of 138 articles were identified as potentially relevant from the search after the title screening. Thirteen potential articles had been selected after the abstract review and were examined on a full-text level, resulting in a final total of 1 article relevant for inclusion. The data extracted from the included study found that Home PT Program is an effective management in treating motor delay in children diagnosed with CP and the like.  The effectiveness of parent/primary guardian administered PT management cannot be measured or concluded as of now due to the lack of substantial evidence presented by very low number of studies regarding the subject matter. Although there was no firm evidence drawn from this study, one conclusion is raised, the topic being discussed needs further and more extensive studies and researches.
