Making children
with cerebral palsy
visible through data.
OUR
VISION.
Our vision is to make people with Cerebral Palsy visible through data from the majority world population and enable meaningful changes to their lives by conducting collaborative and translational research through a global network.

ABOUT
US.
The Gobal Low and Middle Income Cerebral Palsy Register (GLM CPR) is a collaborative network involving a group of organisations and individuals with no documented obligations.
Our purpose is to collect and share information, resources, tools, and lessons and enhance communication and support.
​
We are connected through shared interest and maintain collaboration in a non-hierarchical manner where each of the participating individuals’ bonds equal ownership of this collaboration.
HOW IT WORKS.
Our network of registers collects and harmonises information about individuals with Cerebral Palsy in LMICs with a common goal and provides a platform for researchers to conduct studies for a global understanding of Cerebral Palsy in the majority world population.
We collect data on a range of factors, including socio-demographic characteristics, birth details, clinical characteristics, severity of Cerebral Palsy, early detection, intervention, integration, and care. The information is collected through a standardised protocol, which ensures that data is comparable across different countries and regions.
OUR
PEOPLE.
The GLM CPR network is privileged to have a pool of talented and committed collaborators from a wide range of disciplines making a difference in the lives of individuals with cerebral palsy every day.
Through shared expertise and resources, working groups facilitate the exchange of ideas, drive innovative research initiatives, and promote the development of comprehensive interventions.
​
Our working group members provide strategic direction and technical expertise to the GLM CPR collaborators. It is a two-way advisory forum that facilitates the assessment and review of proposals, technical support, implementation activities, and overall formulation of strategies to achieve the overarching goal of GLM CPR.
OUR FUNDERS.
The GLM CPR activities are currently funded by the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Australia.
UPCOMING WEBINAR.
GLM CPR are happy to announce the launch of a new webinar targetted at Doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists/speech pathologists.
Community of
Practice (CoP) for early detection and early intervention for children with CP in LMICs
The GLM CPR Community of Practice (CoP) is a multi-country implementation science initiative designed to improve access to early detection and early intervention (ED & EI) services for children with cerebral palsy in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This initiative aims to:
-
Establish a dynamic Community of Practice to support professional development, knowledge exchange, and case-based learning to strengthen ED & EI capabilities in LMICs.
-
Generate pooled data on the feasibility and accuracy of implementing internationally recommended early detection practices in resource-limited settings.
-
Scale up the availability of early intervention services tailored to the realities of children with CP in LMICs.
-
Develop a standard protocol to support future multi-country research on ED & EI for children with CP.
