Cover Story: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood disability worldwide, and early detection of infants with or at risk for a CP diagnosis is essential for the implementation of effective early intervention strategies. With the use of magnetic resonance imaging, Prechtl's General Movement Assessment, and the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination, children may be accurately diagnosed around 5–6 months of age. This survey study describes the limited use of these tools in the states of Maryland and Delaware, with continued reliance on clinical signs and symptoms. Many respondents reported the age of diagnosis as being delayed or late, with only 19% reporting diagnosis being received before 12 months. Recommendations for policy and organizational change, clinician education, and training are made to support the implementation of international CP early detection guidelines. View this paper
