Sažetak
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is most common developmental disorder. It is caused by brain damage which affects the development of most functions, especially the development of motor functions (position and/or movement). Problems in functions leads to problems in everyday functioning in different areas of life: education, activities of daily living, finding, and keeping job, leisure time, etc. Kind and severity of problems in functions and functioning (i.e. disability) basically depends on brain lesion localization and size. Nevertheless, the influence of rehabilitation (especially early rehabilitation) cannot be ignored. Well planned rehabilitation methods and environmental changes can encourage persons‘abilities and skills and improve persons‘ functioning in all life areas. Having a child with cerebral palsy will affect family life. Family will have to change their habits, perhaps even their living condition to remove barriers and improve child‘s ability to move around. It is important for family to find support in a community, from specialists, but also a parent group support.
