Children with cerebral palsy (CP) will be cared for at some point by all pediatricians and many pediatric subspecialists due to this condition being the most common motor disability of childhood. Comprehensive care of the child with CP requires individuals with specialized training, and these children benefit from an interdisciplinary team approach to care. CP is heterogeneous due to varied causes, which necessitates individualized treatment plans. The CP specialist must be prepared to support the needs of the child with CP holistically and must dialogue regularly with members of the team and involve the family in decision-making.
