Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate cognitive functioning in children and adolescents aged 11-15 years diagnosed with cerebral palsy who are attending mainstream schools in Denmark. The study highlights the often-overlooked cognitive impairments associated with cerebral palsy, which can lead to significant academic and social challenges. By systematically assessing cognitive abilities, the study seeks to identify the need for cognitive assessments in the follow-up program for children with cerebral palsy. A control group of children without cerebral palsy will also be included for comparison.
