Summary

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in children. It is due to damage that occurs during brain development in the fetus or infant. Early treatment (before 2 years) will allow the child to promote brain plasticity to compensate for the effects of the lesion and reduce the severity of CP. The goals of early intervention are to increase motor, cognitive and communication skills, prevent complications and provide parental support. Most authors agree to recognize the benefit of early care by emphasizing home intervention programs with active parental participation. To date, no recommendations exist in France for the management of cerebral palsy in children under the age of two. It is therefore necessary to conduct scientific studies in this population. Based on published international studies, the PRECOP program (PREcoce intervention in parent-professional COoperation in Cerebral Palsy) consists of individualized care adapted to the specific needs of each child, from the arrival of the infant at home, by a multidisciplinary team during the child's first two years.

Conditions

• Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	PRECOP program	PRECOP program is the first program combining early detection of cerebral palsy with implementation of early interventions following the latest international recommendations (multidisciplinary program at home, with the possibility of intensive courses, coaching parental, in the first 2 years of life). This comprehensive monitoring is implemented as soon as the infant arrives at home, by a multidisciplinary team and continues during the child's first 2 years. It includes: * Follow-up organized primarily at home * Monitoring of psychomotor development * Screening for possible cerebral palsy * Comprehensive support for the child's development: weight, diet, sleep... * Reeducation, implementation of SMART type objectives (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Achievable, Timely defined) determined with parents * Creation of equipment if necessary: early seating installation in particular * Parental support and guidance for optimizing early care * Parental psychological support.
