What is it about?
This study looked at how children with and without cerebral palsy engage in activities at home and how their environment affects their participation. Parents shared their perspectives, revealing that children with cerebral palsy are perceived to participate less in home activities compared to their peers without cerebral palsy. The study highlights the importance of understanding each home environment's uniqueness to improve the participation of children with cerebral palsy.
