Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) have difficulties in acquiring arithmetic skills. Researchers hypothesized that arithmetic difficulties for individuals with CP results from atypically developing neural circuits in children with CP. These neural circuits typically serve as a scaffold for the development of arithmetic abilities. To test this hypothesis, researchers investigated the neurocognitive profile of numerical and mathematical skills in children with CP. They compared the arithmetic ability and brain activation patterns of children with CP to children without CP. Taken together; this information will increase understanding of the numerical and mathematical skills of youth with CP and the associated brain structure and function. This data will ultimately have implications in improving care strategies of arithmetic difficulties in children with CP.
