Popis:	Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in children. The impact of CP on quality of life is not well understood. This paper explores the literature to understand what participation in everyday activities and quality of life means for children living with CP and their families. Quality of life and participation in disability, namely CP, are starting to be researched but the longitudinal element of QOL has not yet been done. Further studies based on longitudinal designs should be carried out to determine the quality of life and activity levels of these children long into adult life.
