A kaleidoscope of well-being to authentically represent the voices of children and young people with complex cerebral palsy: a case study series.

Purpose: This paper authentically represents the voices of non-verbal children with cerebral palsy using a case study design. Policy suggests that children should have the right to play and leisure opportunities, however non-verbal children with cerebral palsy have fewer choices. Additionally, children with communication, learning and mobility limitations are usually excluded from research.

Adapted bikes: what children and young people with cerebral palsy told us about their participation in adapted dynamic cycling.

Purpose: Children and young people with Cerebral Palsy have limited opportunities for participation and there has been limited research to explore this concept. Adapted dynamic cycling (ADC) is one activity that can enable them to participate in the community. The aim of this paper is to report the views and experiences of children and young people with CP and their families regarding their participation in ADC.
