The Contribution of Maternal Involvement to Mastery Performance in Infants with Cerebral Palsy.

Blasco, Patricia Mulhearn; And Others

Journal of Early Intervention, v14 n2 p161-74 Spr 1990

This study examined maternal contributions to development of spontaneous mastery in 30 toddlers with and 31 without cerebral palsy. Mothers in the 2 groups did not differ in the quality and appropriateness of interactions with their children. Maternal involvement was found to contribute significantly to both spontaneous mastery and developmental level regardless of risk status. (Author/PB)
