Abstract

This study employed a descriptive design using a survey technique and self-made questionnaires distributed to 16 enrolled respondents in cerebral palsy patients in two (2) affiliation centers through simple quota sampling. The data from the questionnaire tallied, tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted using frequency percentages. Based on the results, the researchers concluded (1) the psychomotor status of the enrolled Cerebral Palsy patients had a wide variation. Moreover, the ability to sit alone noted in the majority of the patients and only a few could ambulate alone. (2) Although the enrolled Cerebral Palsy patients, still experiencing various communication problems, this does not necessarily affect the parent's decision to enroll a child. (3) Intelligence Quotient (IQ) does not affect the decision to enroll the child. (4) Specialized schools for Cerebral Palsy children preferred by the parents rather than private or public schools, (5) the subjects generally enjoy going to school because their classmates centered on the development of communication skills.
