Cerebral palsy is a motor disorder due to brain immaturity associated with deficit including adaptive deficits, social, engines, cognitive and communication and with great impact on development. The aim was to study the development during a year of children with cerebral palsy from one to six years. The method was a sequential evolutionary ex post facto design. We utilized the screening test of the Battelle Developmental Inventory in a pre-test and a post-test after one year. The sample consisted of 41 children aged between 1 and 6 years of age diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Children in the posttest scores showed significantly higher in all areas studied. There has been an overall improvement in the capabilities of most subjects. Are discussed the possible influences contributing to these improvements in the ratios of development to obtain these results.
