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".
