Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Children with confirmed medical diagnosis of spastic diplegia. Children between 3 and 10 years old (as motor interventions may show significant results within this developmental range). Demonstration of persistent primitive reflexes such as the Moro reflex, ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex), STNR (Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex), or Tonic Labyrinthine reflex. Children who can perform voluntary movements with assistance or minimal assistance but have limited motor skills. At least 6 months post any surgery related to cerebral palsy or orthopedic corrections. Written informed consent from parents or guardians to allow their child's participation in the study Children on a stable medical treatment regimen without recent changes in anti-spasticity medication or other related treatments. Both gender male and female Child able to follow verbal command Children with GMFS level (II, III, IV) Children with Modified Ashworth scale (0-2)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Children with significant cognitive impairments that prevent them from following instructions or participating in the therapy sessions. Children with additional neurological conditions such as epilepsy, severe autism, or other progressive neurological disorders. Children with fixed contractures or severe musculoskeletal deformities that would limit their ability to perform the exercises or participate in motor pattern activities. Exclusion of children who have received Botox injections or undergone surgical procedures in the last 6 months, as this may influence muscle tone and reflexes. Children with a history of uncontrolled seizures, which might interfere with therapy participation or safety. Children who were uncooperative Children who have visual and intellectual impairments CP include hemiplegic CP, Quadriplegic CP, Ataxic CP, Athetoid CP, Mixed CP, and hypotonic CP. With any Hearing deficit Any Sensory loss Any history of Tumors and severe mental abnormality Any cardiac anomalies affecting exercise tolerance
