Original: Barriers to participation for children with CP include difficulty accessing the community. This includes difficulty accessing buildings and using transportation.[32][33] Occupational therapists may work with developers to ensure new homes are accessible to all people.[34][35] Also, occupational therapists often help people apply for government and non-profit funding to provide assistive devices, such as special computer programs or wheelchairs, to children with CP.[36] Availability of transportation services can be limited for children with CP because of many factors, such as difficulties fitting wheelchairs into vehicles and dependency on public transit schedules. Therefore, the occupational therapists may also be involved in education and referral regarding accessible vehicles and funding

ALL THAT MY ARTICLE IS MISSING Cerebral palsy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_palsy 1.Physical therapy and Occupational Therapy are staple treatments of ADCP. Physical therapy is initiated soon after diagnosis and typically focuses on trunk strength and maintaining posture.[1] Physical therapy helps to improve mobility, range of motion, functional ability, and quality of life. Specific exercises and activities prescribed by a therapist help to prevent muscles from deteriorating or becoming locked in position and help to improve coordination.[9] Occupational therapy interventions for children with CP can include range of motion of the trunk and upper extremities,feeding, dressing, bathing, toileting, grooming,pencil grasp and handwriting skills, and most of all play.

2.Clinically, physicians have also classified cerebral palsy according to the topographic distribution of muscle spasticity.[6] This method classifies children as diplegic, (bilateral involvement with leg involvement greater than arm involvement), hemiplegic (unilateral involvement), or quadriplegic (bilateral involvement with arm involvement equal to or greater than leg involvement).[2][6]

3.Barriers can exist on three levels: micro, meso and macro.[77] First, the barriers at the micro level involve the person.[77] Barriers at the micro level include the child's physical limitations (motor, sensory and cognitive impairments) or their subjective feelings regarding their ability to participate.[78] For example, the child may not participate in group activities due to lack of confidence. Second, barriers at the meso level include the family and community.[77] These may include negative attitudes of people toward disability or lack of support within the family or in the community.[79] One of the main reasons for this limited support appears to be the result of a lack of awareness and knowledge regarding the child's ability to engage in activities despite his or her disability.[79] Third, barriers at the macro level incorporate the systems and policies that are not in place or hinder children with CP. These may be environmental barriers to participation such as architectural barriers, lack of relevant assistive technology and transportation difficulties due to limited wheelchair access or public transit that can accommodate children with CP.[79] For example, a building without an elevator will prevent the child from accessing higher floors.

4.] Occupational therapists provide mental health services in a variety of settings including hospitals, day programs, and long-term-care facilities.[45]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_therapy Mental health illnesses that may require occupational therapy include schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders (post traumatic stress disorder or acute stress disorder), obsessive-compulsive and related disorders such as hoarding, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and learning disorders.[46] Occupational therapists help individuals with mental illness acquire the skills to care for themselves or others including the following:[47] schedule maintenance routine building coping skills medication management employment education community access and participation social skills development leisure pursuits money management childcare teaching and maintaining self care and hygiene skills Within the scope of occupational therapy, there are a variety of assessments that can be used for individuals with mental health conditions.These evaluation tools generally assess occupational performance and participation in a variety of areas.[48]
