The analysis of the theoretical older preschool children’s with cerebral palsy self-care skills. The hypothesis that the older preschool children’s with cerebral palsy self-care skills are better than mine their parents / guardians. Test and questionnaire survey methods, a study was conducted with the objective - to evaluate the older preschool children’s with cerebral palsy self-care skills and compared with their parent / guardian believes. The study included five families raising older preschool children with various forms of cerebral palsy. The empirical part was analyzed selfcare skills: eating, personal hygiene, bathing, dressing, using the toilet and mobility. The results were compared with the results of the questionnaire, which was reflected in the expertise of parents / guardians opinion about their children's challenges in areas of selfcare. The main conclusions of the research: • The five - six years healthy children are able to perform self-care activities independently. But children’s with cerebral palsy, motor development is often delayed due to the latest manifestations of the common development, so their self-care skills compared with their healthy peers are performed or learnt to compensate later. It usually depends on cerebral palsy form. • All subjects have been raised difficulties in one or other self-care activities. Their evolution has lagged behind the development of healthy children. In subjects with spastic duplex CP, self-care problems encountered in all areas due to severe muscle spasticity, which restricted the movements of the body. Subjects with unilateral spastic or CP ataxia forms, have been partially or completely independent in all self-care areas. • Parents / guardians raising children with spastic duplex CP said their children need more assistance, compared with parents / guardians raising children with spastic unilateral or ataxia CP forms. • Most of the subjects were more independent in self-care areas, were able to carry out more activities independently or with partial assistance / care, then thought their parents / guardians. |
