title: Literature for parents of children with cerebral palsy.
abstract: Educational literature on cerebral palsy, designed for parents' reference, was assessed by three reviewers for content and audience appeal. Of the 88 publications received, 47 were not pertinent to the topic and 11 were useful only for reading lists, bibliographies, etc. Of the other 30 publications, 18 were deemed not useful and many of these were inaccurate and misleading. Five publications were broadly useful and a further seven were useful in part or in specific situations.
