School readiness in preschool children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how ready preschool-aged children with cerebral palsy (affecting one side of the body) are for school. It will help understand what skills they may need extra support with.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
