“…Easy to use scales have been developed to describe the gross motor performance (Palisano et al, 1997) and manual performance (Beckung & Hagberg, 2002;Eliasson et al, 2006) of children with cerebral palsy and are now used across surveillance registers rather than detailed clinical assessments such as the Gross Motor Function Measure (Russell et al, 1993) or the ABILHAND-Kids (Arnould, Penta, Renders, & Thonnard, 2004). The use of common, consistent measures by registers has enabled the comparison of prevalence rates by severity of impairment across time and regions (Arneson et al, 2009;Platt et al, 2007;SCPE, 2002).…”

A B S T R A C TSurveillance registers monitor the prevalence of cerebral palsy and the severity of resulting impairments across time and place. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy can affect children's speech production and limit their intelligibility. We describe the development of a scale to classify children's speech performance for use in cerebral palsy surveillance registers, and its reliability across raters and across time. Speech and language therapists, other healthcare professionals and parents classified the speech of 139 children with cerebral palsy (85 boys, 54 girls; mean age 6.03 years, SD 1.09) from observation and previous knowledge of the children. Another group of health professionals rated children's speech from information in their medical notes. With the exception of parents, raters reclassified children's speech at least four weeks after their initial classification. Raters were asked to rate how easy the scale was to use and how well the scale described the child's speech production using Likert scales. Inter-rater reliability was moderate to substantial (k > .58 for all comparisons). Test-retest reliability was substantial to almost perfect for all groups (k > .68). Over 74% of raters found the scale easy or very easy to use; 66% of parents and over 70% of health care professionals judged the scale to describe children's speech well or very well. We conclude that the Viking Speech Scale is a reliable tool to describe the speech performance of children with cerebral palsy, which can be applied through direct observation of children or through case note review. ß

“…These difficulties with the timings of motor movements arise due to abnormal or incomplete brain development [1]. Cerebral palsy is one of the most commonly found disorder in the developing countries and its prevalence is cited as 1 or 2/1000 in live birth [2]. Failure in achievement of milestones of motor development from birth to five years like, rolling, sitting, standing, holding or walking etc., are likely to be the significant indicators of Cerebral palsy.…”

“…As one grows older for instance before six months of age, a child may feel stiff or floppy but can roll around as the same child grows older than six months, he/she may not even be able to roll in any direction at all. Cerebral palsy can be diagnosed with thorough clinical assessment by an authentic physician and paeditrician in conjoining reports and observations of developmental psychologists and parents [2]. Spastic and dyskinetic are two major subtypes of cerebral palsy.…”

The present research study was designed to investigate the family functioning of the families having children with cerebral palsy. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences in the family functioning of families having children with cerebral palsy and families having normal children. The case-control research design was used. The sample of the study was accessed from the special needs institutions (N=50). The measure used in the current research was the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES IV) by Olson, 2011. The findings from the current research reveal that there are significant differences in some of the dimensions of the family functioning of families having children with cerebral palsy in comparison to the families having normal children. The family cohesion, flexibility, communication were found to have better accounted for family functioning. The enlightening findings from the current research carry strong implications for the researchers, psychologists, family therapists, community workers and for psychiatrists.
