Abstract
Cerebral palsy, a syndrome of motor impairment resulting from a lesion in the developing brain, has a worldwide prevalence of 1·0–3·5 per 1000 livebirths.A life-course perspective needs to be adopted as more children live into their adolescence and adulthood. Individuals' participation in life and availability of family-centred services are very important and differ between countries. In low-income countries, most treatments are provided by families and multidisciplinary assessment is done in rural clinics.
