  This study found that occupational therapists can aid parents of children with CP in their normalization process; recognize that because play is an everyday occupation, the facilitation of play can place a burden on parents; enable parents to understand an expanded concept of play; and recognize the importance of play for play's sake. By explaining child development theory, OTs may enable parents to better understand that their child's play is normal but that their child's progression through the developmental stages is slower than that of a typically developing child. OTs may be able to help reduce the need for parents to facilitate play by teaching children independent play skills that allow parents the opportunity to carry out other household tasks.
