This research will provide the first ever data to identify social challenges and track social development early in the life of children with CP.
​
The study will look at social skills and social reciprocity in infants from aged three months to two years. Children will attend assessments at 3-5 months, 9 months, 18 months and 24 months, either at the Cerebral Palsy Early Diagnosis Clinic when they present for standard assessments, or at the Brain and Mind Centre.
​
As well as routine CP assessments, infants and parents will complete an infant interaction task and an unstructured parent-infant play session. A comprehensive social development and skills assessment will also be conducted at 24 months.
