Parental & Carer Involvement
It is essential for parents and carers to learn how to handle their child in the most helpful way for everyday activities when at home or school. Such co-operation is vital to enable the child to reach their potential. Therapists work closely with parents and carers showing them how best to help their child with activities of daily living and play.

Many aspects mentioned here are dealt with in more detail in the book Handling the Young Cerebral Palsied Child at Home by Nancie R Finnie FRCP. It is published by Heinemann Medical Books.
