Brief description Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in childhood, present in approximately 2/1000 live births. Just as movement of the larger muscles may be altered, the brain lesion can also affect the oral muscles associated with eating. This study will explore oral motor and feeding skills in a population-based sample of children with CP at two ages, 18-24 and 30-36 months (corrected ages) and relationships with gross motor skills (movement and posture) and nutrition.
