Relevance. Timely comprehensive diagnostics of psycho-social factors involved in the formation of cerebral palsy in children, their influence on the formation of child-parent relationships is relevant and practically significant. Inharmonious upbringing, emotional disorders and personal characteristics of the parent can affect the child’s mental development, contribute to violations of psycho-social adaptation. Objective of the study: to reveal the psychological characteristics of children with cerebral palsy and those of their mothers, to determine the characteristics of upbringing and parent-child relationships, to conduct clinical and psychological support of children with this disabling disease and their parents with elements of cognitive-behavioral correction of the identified disorders. Methods of research. Clinical conversation and experimental psychological method including: “Assembling Figures” method according to the 4th Wechsler subtest; method of drawing associations by S. Rosenzweig (children’s version) modified by N.V. Tarabrina(1978); René Gilles method, 1950; test “SMOL” ( V.P. Zaitsev, 1981); “PARI” method by E.S. Schaefer and R.K. Bell, adapted by T. V. Neshcheret (1984). Methods of statistical analysis were used as well. The sample consisted of: Group1 (n1) — 37 pre-school children with cerebral palsy aged 5–6 years (17 girls and 20 boys) and their mothers in the MCU of Samara RC “Zhuravushka”; Group 2 (n2) — 37 conditionally healthy children of the same age and gender in the SBU SAMARA city children’s polyclinic No. 9. Research results. It was found that in children with cerebral palsy, emotional response in a situation of frustration is accompanied by high self-accusatory reactions, low socio-psychological adaptation and low self-esteem. Child-parent relationships are in the suboptimal emotional range. An effective program of clinical and psychological cognitive-behavioral psychological correction of emotional and behavioral cerebral palsy disorders in the parent-child group was carried out. Conclusions. Psychosocial factors affecting the adaptation processes of preschool children with cerebral palsy were identified. Families with children with chronic disabling diseases such as cerebral palsy, need to organize training and education, including psycho-corrective and correction-developmental classes.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a collection of motor disorders caused by brain damage that occur before, during or after birth which can be caused by many factors such as, congenital, genetic, inflation, infection and poisoning during pregnancy, trauma and metabolic disorders. Children with cerebral palsy will mostly have problems with posture. Muscular spasticity found in CP children is not only found in the muscles of the limbs but also the muscles forming posture (body posture), the condition of the body shape of children with CP will be exacerbated by the omission of postures that are not functional. Taping provides convenience in initiating motion, to help people with CP be able to move easily. The objectives of this study is to determine the effect of giving correction posture taping to the ability of motion of cerebral palsy children. Methods:  The design in this study is a quasi experiment with a pretest and posttest design. The research will be conducted on the CP community in Yogyakarta, namely the Wahana Cerebral Palsy Family (WKCP) for 8 weeks. The research instrument used in this study was  a blank check on the basic functional ability of GMFM. Results: After getting treatment in the form of Correction Posture Taping for 8 consecutive weeks, there was an increase in the functional ability of motion during sleep by 5.1385 with P = 0.000 (α <0.05), when seated by 1.0254 with P = 0.000 (α<0.05), when crawling by 0.44 with P = 0.000 (α <0.05), when standing and walking by 0.6523 with  P= 0.000 (α <0.05), when crawling by 0.32 with P = 0.000 (α <0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of research and the results of data processing, there is the effect of posture taping correction on the functional ability of children with cerebral palsy.

Although many parenting interventions have been shown efficacious in reducing externalizing behavior problems in young children, they often take months to implement and tend to target children with moderate to severe behavior problems. Parent–Child Care (PC-CARE) was designed to be an engaging, brief (six-session) dyadic intervention to reduce mental health symptoms even for children with few behavior problems and/or parents who are unable to commit to lengthy treatments. We present an evidence-based case study of a 5-year-old child with mild externalizing problems and his biological parents, who participated in PC-CARE. Standardized measures were collected, and the child’s and parents’ emotional availability were assessed at pre- and posttreatment. Weekly codings of parent–child interactions and parent-reported measures of child behaviors were also collected. This child’s behavioral symptoms improved from pre- to posttreatment (per parents’ reports and observation), and he maintained this improved behavior 1 month after treatment. The parents similarly demonstrated improvement in their use of parenting skills and emotional availability. Aspects of treatment that may affect effectiveness are discussed.
