About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between upper extremity functionality and school-related outcomes, including academic achievement, school performance, and perceived academic success in school-aged children with cerebral palsy. The study specifically aims to evaluate how upper extremity motor function is associated with academic participation and school-based functional performance.

The main hypotheses are:
H0: There is no significant relationship between upper extremity functionality and academic achievement, school performance, and perceived academic success in school-aged children with cerebral palsy.
H1: There is a significant relationship between upper extremity functionality and academic achievement, school performance, and perceived academic success in school-aged children with cerebral palsy.
The group in the trial
- Cerebral Palsy Upper Extremity Function Group (CP-UEF-G)
The study population consists of school-aged children diagnosed with cerebral palsy who meet the inclusion criteria and are actively attending school. The study is designed as a cross-sectional observational study and aims to evaluate the relationship between upper extremity functionality and school-related outcomes. Participants will not receive any experimental intervention. All participants will continue their routine medical care, rehabilitation programs, and school activities without any modification. All assessments will be conducted in a single session and will include evaluation of upper extremity functionality, academic achievement, school performance, and perceived academic success. Upper extremity functionality will be assessed using the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) and ABILHAND-Kids. Academic achievement will be evaluated using school report card grades. School performance will be assessed using a standardized academic performance evaluation scale. Percei
