Opportunities to Participate in Research
CEEP
- Conductive Education Evaluation
It has been reported that children with CP can benefit from
early interventions. Intervention services often begin
in the first year of life, as soon as developmental delays
are detected, and even before a diagnosis of CP.
CFCS
Communication Function Classification System
Communication disorders can affect education, vocation, and
social interactions for people with cerebral

purpose of this research is to create the Communication
Function Classification System (CFCS) for children with
cerebral palsy.
