Cerebral palsy treatment guides

Cerebral Palsy Treatment Guides

The latest research evidence from Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research
The Cerebral Palsy Treatment Guides have been developed for people living with cerebral palsy, parents, carers, allied health and medical practitioners. Each guide provides information based on the latest research evidence from Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research and across the world, about the most effective interventions.

These guides are organised into age groups to provide information about the range of different needs at various stages of development. They include the most effective ways to promote motor function, mobility, learning, communication and social skills, as well as how to manage secondary conditions (e.g. pain, muscle tone, musculoskeletal issues, sleep, epilepsy, hips).

These guides can be used to:

  • Support conversations with funding agencies, support coordinators, service providers and therapists
  • Help you access the right interventions, at the right time, and in the right amount
  • Assist you with confidently choosing interventions and services that are supported by high quality evidence
