SYNOPSIS An attempt has been made to assess the value of a neuro‐developmental approach in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy. Some‘facilitation’techniques used to encourage automatic postural reactions are mentioned and it is emphasized that these patterns are more easily established in the very young before the increased tone or fluctuation of tone has become well established.
