Trying to be an Early BIRD: An exploration of factors impacting British Columbia’s intervention referral and diagnosis of cerebral palsy
GMFCS level is the most significant predictor of an early or late CP diagnosis. This may encourage increased education and resource efforts being placed towards early diagnosis of children with lower GMFCS levels. This project hopes to act as a starting point for further research efforts into facilitating early diagnosis within BC and Canada.
