Abstract
This study examined characteristics of children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Jordan and the services they receive based on parents' report. Profiles of the children and services received were developed based on their functional level on the Gross Motor Function Classification System. Results showed that 74.1% of the children have spasticity. Common associated impairments included speech (60.3%) and visual (40.5%) impairments. The most frequent service received was physical therapy (90.4%). Knowledge of needs of children with CP and current service utilization is helpful for future program planning. Services need to be individualized according to the child's age and functional limitations.
