Abstract

Cerebral palsy (CP) is defined as „diverse and changing with age motion and posture disorder, coexisting with other symptoms, conditioned by permanent damage to the brain being in the stadium of unfinished development”. Owing to this, making a child more functional should include all spheres of life and this need was met by Andras Petö – the creator of Conductive Education System (CES). The specialists from different fields have an important role in the programme, but the greatest significance is ascribed to the role of parents of a child. Thus, shaping and developing the right relationship between a child and a parent is substantial. It is justified to analyse the attitudes exhibited by the parents of disabled children. What also deserves attention, is the difference beteween the attitudes towards sons and daughters with CP taking part in CES. The researched group is 28 parents of the children with CP who take part in CES in rehabilitation and therapy clinic in Zamość. The Parents Attitude Scale by Mieczysław Plopa has been used for verification of the parents' attitudes. The results of the research show that there are statistical differences between the parents of girls and the parents of boys in the subject of intensification of the excessively demanding attitude. The tendencies for statistically vaild differences have also been noticed, concerning intensification the attitude of acceptance.
