The main questions it aims to answer are: Can children and caregivers follow a 6-week rehabilitation program? Is the program acceptable and feasible for children and caregivers? Researchers will also explore preliminary changes in walking distance and quality of life. Participants will: Attend a clinic visit for baseline testing, including a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Receive exercise instructions and a pedometer Complete home-based walking and wall sit exercises twice per week for 6 weeks Receive weekly follow-up from study staff (by phone or home visit) Return to clinic at 6 weeks for follow-up testing
