ABSTRACT Background The New South Wales (NSW) and Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Cerebral Palsy (CP) Register is a database of clinical demographic information from children with CP. A child CP resulting an insult to the developing brain sustained between 29 days 2 years age classified as having post‐neonatally acquired (PNN‐CP). In services, may meet criteria timing for PNN‐CP but have singular diagnosis acquired/traumatic injury. Objectives To implement evaluate new register...
The most recent cost estimates of cerebral palsy (CP) in Australia did not include out-of-pocket costs for families. This study aimed to: 1) describe and estimate people with CP their families by age gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) level; 2) measure financial distress. A cross-sectional quantitative survey design was used qualitative approaches to analyse open-ended questions. CP-specific co-designed lived experience. Adults carers were recruited from Australian...

Neurodevelopmental disorders are a heterogeneous group of conditions with overlapping symptomatology and fluctuating developmental trajectories that transcend current diagnostic categorisation. There is need for validated screening instruments which dimensionally assess from holistic, transdiagnostic perspective. The primary aim to co-design Neurodevelopment Assessment Scale (NAS), user-friendly assessment inventory systematically screens all signs symptoms commonly encountered in...
