Fewer than half of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy (CP) know their child's Gross Motor Function Classification System level. Most want to know how their child's function compares to other children with CP. The majority of caregivers would like to revisit the topic over time. Caregivers want to discuss gross motor information with the therapist and doctor.
