Distinct self-care developmental trajectories in children with cerebral palsy were found according to Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) levels. Children in MACS levels IV and V with epilepsy did not show any significant change in self-care. Children in MACS levels IV and V without epilepsy demonstrated small yet significant gains in self-care performance.
