2613). Another major finding was that the relationship between activity limitations and participation was that it is not a clear correlation between the two variables. It was important to note that it depends on what level of Cerebral Palsy the child falls under according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).

  • Double Abx Model Of Family Stress

    It becomes a stressful event in the sense that the mother’s life equilibrium becomes disturbed and results in the additional pile of other stressors such as financial problems, social problems, and psychological distress. When this model is applied to lives of mothers of children with cerebral palsy, the severity of the stressor relates well to the level or the type of cerebral palsy, the challenging behaviour. When a child is born with a chronic condition such as cerebral palsy which is incurable and permanent in nature, such event increases the mother’s vulnerability to stressors. Although some mothers are at risk for facing many challenges, there are also mothers who cope positively and find it easier to adapt to this stressful event. Therefore, the findings of this study are likely to show that many mothers of children with cerebral palsy are faced with many challenges in life.

    The expulsion of Callie from the cheerleading squad due of her disability was an unjust choice due to jealousy, efficiency, and the purpose of cheerleading. Cheerleading should not be about the person 's ability to jump and do tumbles, but their ability to rile up the crowd. Because Callie never failed to ignite the school spirit, she should not have been kicked from the squad. Provided she can perform well, “Callie should not be excluded from cheerleading” (185). Although her cerebral palsy limits the type of movements she can enact, the way she moves her wheelchair up and down increases the school spirit, theoretically making her the best performer.
