“…Since then the results of studies have been inconclusive and conflicting, despite being controlled (Tirosh and Rabino 1989). Although extensive studies into therapeutic interventions with children with CP have found no objective evidence for the effectiveness and efficacy of the programmes, intervention strategies have been increasingly implemented (Ferry 1981, Turnbull 1993.…”

“…Another 13 papers were identified by examining the reference lists of the selected articles and recent review articles (Royeen and DeGangi 1992, Turnbull 1993, Hur 1995, Becher 1997, Butler and Darrah 2001 and by reviewing the table of contents of 20 selected S(S)CI journals. The final 50 articles were written in English (all initial hits in German, French, and Spanish did not fulfill our inclusion criteria) and covered 49 different studies; one study was reported in more than one article (Hutzler et al 1998a andHutzler et al 1998b behavioural gains due to therapy.…”

This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of therapeutic motor interventions for children with or at risk for cerebral palsy (CP), examining 50 studies covering the period from 1990 to 2001. The purpose was to review noticeable changes in the scientific quality of the studies and to highlight trends and changes in the nature of the evaluated programmes. Our results were compared with those of Vermeer and Bakx (1990) who reviewed the period from 1980 to 1989. It was concluded that fundamental research with adequate methodology was applied more often in the study period than in the period reviewed by Vermeer and Bakx. However, these developments did not lead to a substantial improvement in the scientific foundation of the interventions under study. Single case studies, combined with efforts to develop measures specifically for children with CP and with high sensitivity, might make more valuable contributions to the scientific justification of therapeutic interventions.

“…Some evidence suggests that early intervention has the potential to improve the rate and quality of motor development in children with CP (Kanda, Yuge, Y amori, Suzuki, & Fukase, 1984). However, more research is needed to identify the effective components of therapy (Turnbull, 1993).…”

The recent movement to include students with disabilities in general education classrooms poses a variety of challenges to school personnel. Many classrooms are now accommodating a wider variety of diversity, including a significant group of students with complex medical disorders (Smith & Luckasson, 1992;Stainback & Stainback, 1989). Successful inclusion of these students will depend on educators having a more comprehensive understanding of these disabilities and learning to collaborate with medical personnel.Advances in medical technology have changed the course for students in several ways. For example, it has dramatically increased the survival rate of at-risk neonates, as well as reduced the risk of life-threatening complications commonly associated with many disabilities (Brown, 1993;Goldson, 1993;Warshaw, 1992). In addition, major progress has been made in the ability to determine the etiology of many disorders, and associated research has provided insights into multidisciplinary treatments and interventions. As these medical advances continue, more and more children with disabilities will be entering the general education classroom. It is imperative, therefore, that educators possess current information and the skills necessary to collaborate effectively with medical and ancillary personnel.This article provides a brief overview of common pediatric disabilities and their implications for educators. An increased understanding of these disabilities will enable educators to explain the child's disability to parents and general education teachers, to make appropriate referrals for students who have not been identified, and to facilitate the assessment process and thereby achieve more appropriate programming.In this article each disability is defined, and current information about incidence and causes is summarized. Diagnosis is also discussed, including common characteristics. The complications section covers information about associated deficits in the cognitive, language, motor, behavioral, and academic areas. Finally, multidisciplinary intervention approaches are described and a list of resources for obtaining additional information is provided.

“…Further, there is no evidence that neurodevelopmental therapy, when applied in the first few months of life to infants at risk for CP (primarily low birth-weight infants), will prevent development of CP or otherwise alter neurodevelopmental outcome. However, a blanket statement labeling neurodevelopmental therapy ineffective is not possible due to the scope, weaknesses, and limitations of existing research [Tirosh and Rabino, 1989;Palmer, 1992;Bower, 1993;Turnbull, 1993;Graves, 1995;Hur, 1995;Harris, 1997;Pakula and Palmer, 1997]. Many of these limitations are inevitable.…”
