Teamwork in the education of severely and profoundly handicapped cerebral palsy children

A programme for severely and profoundly handicapped cerebral palsy children aged 5 to 9 years is described. The reasons for its establishment are discussed, together with the measures taken to establish its worth. Issues relevant to the organization of a team approach are presented. The study supports collaborative team efforts between therapy and teaching professions in the field, and also supports collaborative team efforts between university and clinical personnel, for the purpose of programme evaluation.
