Abstract

The pandemic has had long-lasting impacts on children with CP and addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by children with CP and their families in the post-COVID-19 era requires coordinated efforts from all stakeholders to ensure the holistic well-being and inclusion of this vulnerable population. Further research is warranted to assess the long-term impacts of the pandemic and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at mitigating its effects on this vulnerable population.
