“…Furthermore, in the current investigation, the level of reading comprehension in children with CP was essentially predicted by the same key variables as in children without CP. These findings add to the previous literature on children with CP (Dorman, 1987) and indicate that in this population, receptive vocabulary and general reasoning abilities play independent roles in reading achievement.…”

“…Apart from a number of very small sample or multiple case studies, there is a paucity of research that examines predictors of reading comprehension in children with CP (Dorman, 1987; Sandberg, 2006; Sandberg & Hjelmquist, 1997). Sandberg (2006) has shown that children with severe dysarthria or anarthria can learn to read, but the sample sizes were small, precluding multivariate analyses.…”

“…Sandberg (2006) has shown that children with severe dysarthria or anarthria can learn to read, but the sample sizes were small, precluding multivariate analyses. In the only study to date that utilized multivariate analysis, Dorman (1987) examined predictors of reading comprehension, assessed with the Reading Comprehension subtest of the Peabody Individual Achievement Test, in 31 adolescents with CP. Findings included a significant bivariate correlation between Verbal I.Q.…”

Predictors of reading comprehension were evaluated in 41 children with cerebral palsy and 74 typically developing children between the ages of 6 and 12 years. Regression analyses were conducted to determine the relative contributions of measures of phonemic awareness, receptive vocabulary, and general reasoning to variance in reading comprehension. All three independent variables were statistically significant predictors of reading comprehension in both groups of participants. The impact of phonemic awareness on reading comprehension was moderated by age, but only in the typically developing group. Within the group with cerebral palsy, there was an indirect effect of functional expressive ability on reading comprehension, mediated by phonemic awareness. It is concluded that largely the same variables predict reading comprehension in children with cerebral palsy as in typically developing children, but that children with cerebral palsy continue to rely on phonological processing for a more protracted period of time.

“…IQ is well known to be a very crude estimate of intellectual capacity, but few have studied the specific cognitive or perceptual deficits of participants with CP with normal IQ (Dorman 1987, Goodman 1997, Esben 2003. Such deficits could be one explanation of why less than half of the participants with CP with mainstream schooling are competitively employed.…”

Parents and paediatric neurologists need information on the long-term social prognosis of children with cerebral palsy (CP). No large population-based study has been performed on this topic. On 31 December 1999, to find predictors in childhood of subsequent education and employment, 819 participants with CP born between 1965 and 1978 (471 males; mean age 28y 10mo, SD 4y, range 21 to 35y) in the Danish Cerebral Palsy Registry were compared with 4406 controls without CP born between 1965 and 1978 (2546 males; mean age 28y 10mo, SD 4y, range 21 to 35y). Diagnostic subtypes of the 819 participants with CP were: 31% hemiplegia, 43% diplegia, 18% tetraplegia, and 8% other types. Level of motor impairment with respect to walking ability was: 62% able to walk without assistance, 21% with assistance, and 16% not able to walk (for 1% of study children walking ability was not known). Relevant information was obtained from Denmark's unique registries. Of the participants with CP, 33% vs 77% of controls, had education beyond lower secondary school (i.e. after age 15-16y), 29% were competitively employed (vs 82% of controls), 5% were studying, and 5% had specially created jobs. Excluding participants with CP with an estimated developmental quotient (DQ) of less than 50 or inability to walk at age 5 to 6 years, the odds ratios (multivariate analysis) for not being competitively employed were 1.9 for diplegia versus hemiplegia, 22.5 for DQ 50 to 85 versus DQ greater than 85, and 3.7 for those with epilepsy versus those without epilepsy. The severity of motor impairment among participants with CP able to walk had just a minor influence. Only half the participants with CP who had attended mainstream schooling were employed. In conclusion several childhood characteristics seemed to predict long-term social prognosis.

“…The few available studies have focused on children with cerebral palsy (Abercrombie et al 1964, Dorman 1987, Menken et al 1987, Koeda and Takeshita 1992, Ito et al 1996). All reported a high incidence of visual-perceptual impairment in this population.…”

Visual‐perceptual abilities were assessed in 5‐year‐old children with the following neonatal neurological conditions: born preterm with normal ultrasound scan (NL, n=17); born preterm with ultrasound diagnosis of intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH, n=17); born preterm with ultrasound diagnosis of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL, n=12); born term with hypoxic‐ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE, n=11). Visual‐perceptual ability was evaluated with the L94: eight visual‐perceptual tasks designed to evaluate different aspects of visual perception at the preschool level in children with multiple disabilities. Impairment was established in comparison to the performance age obtained on non‐verbal intelligence subtests, instead of chronological age. Frequency of L94 impairment was highest in children with PVL, while children with IVH did not differ from the NL control group. Impairment rates were increased also in children with transient periventricular echodensities, and in children with HIE. Impairments were only moderately related to the delay of visual acuity maturation in infancy.
