Suggestions were made about the content of a revised definition and classification of CP that would meet the needs of clinicians, investigators, health officials, families and the public and would provide a common language for improved communication.

The aim of this study was to validate the expanded and revised Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS‐E&R) for children and youth with cerebral palsy using group consensus methods, and the results provide evidence of content validity of the GMFCS' E&R.

Correlations between scores for change on this measure and the judgments of change by parents, therapists and ‘blind’ evaluators supported the hypothesis that the instrument would be responsive to both negative and positive changes.

Logistic regression, used to estimate the probability that children with CP are able to achieve gross motor milestones based on their GMFM total scores, suggests that distinctions between GMFCS levels are clinically meaningful.

Integration of these models used to describe the caregiving process from two diverse fields, pediatrics and geriatrics, into one comprehensive model suitable for this population of children with disabilities and their caregivers is proposed.

Evidence-based prognostication about gross motor progress in children with cerebral palsy is now possible, providing parents and clinicians with a means to plan interventions and to judge progress over time.
Patterns of participation in recreational and leisure activities among children with complex physical disabilities
Findings provide a foundation for an improved understanding of the participation of children with physical disabilities, which can assist families and service providers in planning activities that fit with their child's preferences and ensure active participation.
