been focused on the intellectual handicap, and also on most of the children those are suffering
from these issues. (Aspesberro, Mangione-Smith & Zimmerman, 2015). This denoted to
placement in a categorized care unit or a health care institution regarding sub normal treatment.
The voluntary agencies which are very much concern about this issue establish the special
educational institution's for treatment of the children and other individuals suffering from health
cerebral palsy and other similar associated disabilities (Fda.gov, 2017).
As a health care provider of a young child who has been recently diagnosed with cerebral
palsy which is in the transition of getting promoted health pre-school to primary school it is
mandatory to be aware of the causes of cerebral palsy which is described as follows:
A malformation of cortical development is included in the congenital brain malformations
which are considered among the renowned causes of cerebral palsy. The newly developed and
modern techniques of imaging have been enabling more children with such health cases to be
identified (Bethell, et al., 2014). More knowledge can be gained regarding critical dysplasia
among which some contain genetic basis which is witnessing rapid increase (healthypeople,
2017). The other health conditions which are very much associated with the cerebral palsy are
various kinds of cerebral malformations and children having congenital malformations of the
brain also have additional anomalies which are not included in the central nervous system (Garg
et al., 2015).
These kinds of causes encompass problems during delivery and labor pain during
childbirth in the mothers (Maternal and Child Health, 2017). Obstetric emergencies like the ante
partum haemorrhage, obstructed labor or cord prolapsed may lead to compromise the fetus which
may further result in hypoxia. However, essential criteria need to be fulfilled for the attribution
the condition to acute intrapartum a category (Bourke‐Taylor et al., 2013).
Siblings and parental factors are reported very rarely. A very advanced paternal age is very
frequently relevant in the case of cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy is classified into the following topography which is described as follows:
This category of cerebral palsy is the most severe category that involved the trunk and all
the four limbs in risk. In this case, the upper limbs are very severely affected than that the lower
limbs and the medical condition are further associated with acute hypoxic intrapartum asphyxia
(Chang et al., 2015).

MATERNAL HEALTH AND PAEDIAETRIC CARE3
Spastic hemiparesis is a conditioned unilateral paresis in which the upper limbs are very
much affected than the lower limbs. It is mostly found in the case of infants which accounts
health around 58 percent and 17 percent of preterm infants (Maternal and Child Health Bureau,
2017).
Spastic diplegia is related to the low and prematurity birth weight. Mostly all the preterm
infants suffering diplegia have the injury in the brain. The ischemia mostly occurs in the zone of
the arterial vascular distributions. Around half of the children in Australia happen to develop
such kind of frank cerebellar deficits with ataxia, in coordination and impaired movements which
are very rapid and successive (Chemtob, Gudiño&Laraque, 2013).
Children those are suffering from cerebral palsy also associated with major different issues
like epilepsy. The process of adjustment of children would include making them pass through the
development stages by making them solve conventional developmental tasks along with
challenges presented by the health condition (Maternal & Child Health Bureau, 2017).
The child, in this case, needs to be taught in the school to build strong and friendly
connections with other children, deal and handle the changes in his body. Adjustment to the
disability and the chronic diseases associated with it is adjusted with the degree of cerebral palsy,
interpretation of cerebral palsy as per the child’s age, condition’s visibility, communicative and
perceptual functioning of the child, and emotional status of the child (Davis et al., 2014).
For the locating the articles for the study and findings for the questions, the search engine
which was used was Google and the key words which were used included “children suffering
from cerebral palsy, major health issue adaptation and adjustment in schools by health care
taker”.
In the article “Psychological factors in children with cerebral palsy and their families” by
Svetlana Logar, cerebral palsy which is a chronic health issue serves as a framework of
disability that occurs in childhood age which further gets manifested in a group of constraints in
the function of the body (Logar, 2012). These abnormalities in the physical functioning arise
from the disorders of the central nervous systems. According to “Health status of Australian
