Sleep Characteristics of Children and Youth with Cerebral Palsy.

Children with cerebral palsy are considered to be a population at risk for the occurrence of sleep difficulties. However, existing literature has been limited by subjective measures of sleep and has failed to examine contributing factors. Forty-five youth with cerebral palsy participated.

Measuring executive functioning with the Multidimensional Everyday Memory Ratings for Youth (MEMRY): concurrent validity with the BRIEF-2 in a large neurological and medical sample.

Executive skills are critical cognitive skills for everyday functioning in children; accurate measurement using validated tools is thus important. The purpose of this study was to examine concurrent validity between the MEMRY Executive/Working Memory scale and the BRIEF2. Participants included a large pediatric clinical sample who completed parent ( = 567), teacher ( = 148), and self-report ( = 88) scales.
