Free Cerebral Palsy Sleep Resource

Posted on by

The Northern Ireland Cerebral Palsy Register and Queen’s University Belfast are delighted to share with you our free resources on sleep and CP. These resources are the results of Dr Mary-Elaine McCavert’s PhD on sleep disturbances in children with CP and were created alongside children with CP and their parents thanks to the support of the John Glover Memorial Award. 

All three resources (including one for families and one for the GP core team) can be found and downloaded from here: https://www.qub.ac.uk/research-centres/NorthernIrelandCerebralPalsyRegister/Sleep-disturbances-Cerebral-palsy/ . For your convenience, we have attached the resource for educational staff. We hope this supports you and your pupils with CP, who may also have difficulties with sleep.
