Mild Motor= mild motor abnormalities of tone or reflexes that do not interefere with function. Only one child was classified as having “mild motor abnormalities” with no epilepsy or cognitive issues. This child had an embolus to the left foot at birth and lost it to amputation- the remaining leg and other foot function well and the child is ambulatory with a prosthesis.

CP= cerebral palsy; mod-severe= moderate-severe; ANY= any disability or neurological abnormality on exam
