Abstract

This paper examines the basic characteristics of the structure of environmental factors that are significant for participation in the home environment of children with cerebral palsy as compared to children with typical development. The sample included 110 participants with cerebral palsy and 134 participants with typical development. The Home Environment Section of the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth – PEM-CY (Coster, Law and Bedell, 2010) was used. By comparing these structures, it was confirmed that there were more barriers and fewer facilitators, followed by lower total environmental supportiveness, and a smaller percentage of resources available and/or appropriate in the home environment of participants with cerebral palsy. Each part of the environmental structure had an independent and unique contribution to explaining of statistical differences between groups, while the strongest predictors was a number of barriers. By reducing the number of barriers, or eliminating the aggravating influence of environmental factors, while increasing the facilitating role at the same time, it is possible to integrate the support of the environment and the participatory potential of children from this population.
