“…Many individuals may have limited verbal communication skills, necessitating the consideration of alternative communication strategies. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools and techniques, such as communication boards or devices, should be integrated into the assessment process to ensure that individuals with CP can effectively express their needs and preferences [ 21 ].…”

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a complex neurological condition characterized by motor dysfunction affecting millions worldwide. This comprehensive review delves into the critical role of assessment in managing CP. Beginning with exploring its definition and background, we elucidate the diverse objectives of CP assessment, ranging from diagnosis and goal setting to research and epidemiology. We examine standard assessment scales and tools, discuss the challenges inherent in CP assessment, and highlight emerging trends, including integrating technology, personalized medicine, and neuroimaging. The applications of CP assessment in clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, research, and education are underscored. Recommendations for the future encompass standardization, interdisciplinary collaboration, research priorities, and professional training. In conclusion, we emphasize the importance of assessment as a compass guiding the care of individuals with CP, issuing a call to action for improved assessment practices to shape a brighter future for those affected by this condition.

“…Communication can be challenging for children with cerebral palsy (CP) as both senders and receivers of messages. Motor disabilities can affect their ability to write with a pen or a computer, as well as their ability to speak and make gestures 7 . Cognitive deficits may cause delays in spoken and written language development, while visual impairments may affect interpersonal communication and language development 8 .…”

Background: The term cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a collection of long-term abnormalities of posture and movement development that limit an individual's activities. These abnormalities are thought to be caused by non-progressive disruptions in the growing fetal or infant brain. Aim: To identify the speech Intelligibility of children with cerebral palsy with different communicative partners Methods: This study employed convenient sampling over two months, conducted within the Pakistan Society for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled (PSRD) and Rising Sun Institute for Special Children. Data collection involved the ICS questionnaire, capturing parents' ratings on their child's speech intelligibility in various social contexts. Results: Out of 119 participants, predominantly aged 4 to 12 years, the study revealed varying levels of speech intelligibility. Scores on the Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS). Parents exhibited a high level of understanding, with a mean score of 4.32±0.96 SD, signifying a substantial level of intelligibility. Immediate family members, extended family members, and the child's teachers also demonstrated relatively high mean scores, ranging from 3.91 to 3.87. In contrast, strangers had a markedly lower mean score of 2.94±1.49 SD, indicating heightened challenges in comprehending the speech of children with cerebral palsy. Conclusion: The speech of children with cerebral palsy is most easily understood by parents, while strangers encounter more significant challenges. This reinforces the crucial role of familiarity in shaping speech intelligibility for these children. The observed difficulties in communication with unfamiliar individuals emphasize the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by children with cerebral palsy in diverse social contexts. Keywords: Cerebral Palsy, Speech Intelligibility, Parental Perspective, Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS)
