Cerebral Palsy in Child Neurology and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities Training: An Unmet Need.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of childhood motor disability. However, there is limited guidance on training of child neurologists and neurodevelopmental disability specialists in the care of individuals with cerebral palsy. We sought to determine training program directors' impressions of the importance and adequacy of training in the diagnosis and management of cerebral palsy.

Results

There were 35 responses (43% response rate
