dc.description.abstractChildren with cerebral palsy (CP) struggle to participate within activities of daily living (ADLs), especially self-care. Occupational therapists need to consider many factors that influence self-care for intervention to be clinically significant. There is little documentation regarding culturally appropriate assessment tools for African children with CP. The purpose of this study was to determine criteria for items of the Self Care Inventory for Children with Cerebral Palsy (SCICP) against which dysfunction within the CP population can be measured. The study included initial development of the items and content validity of the SCICP was determined. Field-testing of the items of the SCICP was done to evaluate the administration and the item appropriateness. Age, hand function and cognition play a role in self-care skills. The SCICP is able to determine what a child’s actual self-care performance is and differentiate between a typically developing child and a child with delayed self-care skills.en_ZA
