Purpose/Hypothesis: Play skills and the ability to manipulate objects is crucial for facilitating learning during early development. Recent studies of school success indicate that one of the most important predictors of school performance is the ability to manipulate objects. Sitting postural control is fundamental to the child?s ability to reach, grasp, and explore the properties of objects in the learning environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between play and object interaction with the development of sitting posture in young children with severe or moderate cerebral palsy.
