Abstract

The present research forms part of a project concerned with the effects of movement rehabilitation for cerebral palsied children aged 4–15 years. It focusses on the extent to which the learning of skilled motor behaviour contributes to the enhancement of social interaction, i.e. to skilled social behaviour, in the daily life of the children concerned.
