OOPS I misspoke/typed. I meant kiddos with CP and average intelligence or kiddos with CP and mild cognitive impairment. I was trying to say that there was a range of intelligence....
I know there is a rule of 1/3s. A third of the children with CP will have average intelligence, a 1/3 with mild cognitive impairment, and a 1/3 with severe cognitive impairment.
Sorry,
Greta

Perhaps I missed something here. At least I hope I did. But did no one
else catch this?

ummm... What about some kids with no cognitive impairment at all?? Like
the kids that the people who post to this list grew up to be? Please
Greta forgive me if there is something about the way your research was
structured that precluded the use of data from cognitive normal
subjects. But if that is not the case, methinks I catch a whiff of the
old "all cp kids have cognitive impairment" meme. Those of us who are
not so impaired (who I'm guessing is just about everyone on this list
who has cp) aren't actually very fond of that piece of "conventional
wisdom".
