Article

Cerebral palsy (CP) is defined as a primary disorder of posture and
movement; however, approximately 45% of children with CP also have an
intellectual impairment. Prevalence estimates are limited by a lack of guidelines
for intelligence testing. This systematic review aims to identify and examine
intelligence assessments for children with CP. METHOD: Electronic databases
(PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL, EMBASE, and ERIC) were searched to
identify assessments that (1) measured intellectual function, (2) in children
aged 4 to 18 years, (3) with CP, and (4) with psychometrics available. RESULTS:
Searches yielded 48 assessments, of which nine provided psychometric data for
children with CP. The included tests were the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale, the
Leiter International Performance Scale, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the
Pictorial Test of Intelligence, the Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices, the
Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, the
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary
Scale of Intelligence. INTERPRETATION: Intelligence assessments in children with
CP lack reliability data, consensus regarding validity data, and population-specific norms. Research is required to establish psychometrics for
children with CP. For children with higher motor involvement and/or communication
and/or visual impairments, multiple options are required to assess intelligence
appropriately.
