“…Several studies have associated visuoperceptual impairment with reduction in the white matter in the parietal and occipital lobes in groups of children with spastic CP. The visuoperceptual impairments of children with spastic CP appear to be unrelated to general intelligence, nonverbal intelligence, or the presence of epilepsy (Bottcher, 2010).Depending of the study, the prevalence of visuomotor and perceptual problems among children with spastic CP varies from 39% to 100% (Stiers & Vanderkelen, 2002) In the Canadian Study "Comorbidities and clinical determinants of outcome in children with spastic quadriplegic (SQ) cerebral palsy", were included 92 patients (55 males and 37 females). This study demonstrated that the comorbidities of visual impairment, hearing loss, epilepsy, and the need for assisted feeding occur in a high proportion of children with SQ CP ranging from 33% (assisted feeding) to 80% (visual difficulty).…”

Before the 1992, medical rehabilitation in Bosnia and Herzegovina had been provided at the level of institutions, usually after the hospital or ambulant treatments. As a concept of rehabilitation, community-based rehabilitation (CBR) was included in the strategic plan of reform of health care in Bosnia and Herzegovina. CBR is strategy for rehabilitation, equal possibilities and social integration of all persons with disabilities.Priority problems for the families of children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities in Bosnia and Herzegovina are: lack of Register for developmental and intellectual disabilities,  lack of continuous preventive measures for disability manifestation, www.intechopen.comEpilepsy -Histological, Electroencephalographic and Psychological Aspects 252  lack of continuous education for the professionals in multiprofessional team for work with families of children with intellectual and development disabilities,  lack of continuous education of teachers in general schools for work with children in program of educational inclusion,  lack of adequate and continuous multidisciplinary community support for all education levels for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities,  lack of adequate programs for profession selection and employment, as well as accompanying legislation, and,  high cost of habilitation-education programs for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities and their insufficient financing.The aims of the study "The influence of prenatal etiological factors on learning disabilities of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy" were: to identify the prenatal etiological factors of cerebral palsy in children and adolescents aged from 6 to 20 years in the Canton of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina;  to determine the learning disabilities among children with the cerebral palsy, and  to determine relationship between prenatal etiological factors of cerebral palsy and learning disabilities of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy.Importance of this study is reflected in the fact that this is the first time in Bosnia and Herzegovina that the influence of the prenatal etiological factors on learning difficulties of the children and adolescents with the cerebral palsy has been determined with use of a scientific method.Knowing the cause of the condition is fundamental to understanding its prevention, its potential complications, and prospective treatment strategies. Thus, there is a great need for better communication and cooperation between all professional dedicated to the care of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (Percy, 2007).

“…The word attention and its influence on motor skills is little known 18 , but as presented by Bottcher 23 and Bottcher et al 24 in the clinical practice of the treatment of children with CP, it can be seen to have a strong influence on the attention of muscle tone and consequently on functionality, thus, it was decided to include this aspect in the FAMA approach, but always considering the lack of references.…”

“…Enhanced participation is also likely to nourish children's social abilities and psychological health (Bottcher, 2010;Raghavendra, Virgo, Olsson, Connell, & Lane, 2011). In the ICF and ICF-CY, participation is presented as a linked but ultimately separate concept from activity.…”

Evidence also suggests that those younger children with partial intelligibility participated more frequently in recreational and social activities than both younger children without speech and older children. Results and limitations are discussed within the context of participation research in childhood disability, highlighting the impact of communicative resources and maturation on everyday participation.
