This study examines various rehabilitation methods in children with cerebral palsy, emphasizing a functional and integrative approach to enhance motor, cognitive, and social outcomes. The investigation focuses on traditional physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, as well as innovative techniques such as robot-assisted therapy and virtual reality-based interventions. A systematic review of the literature, surveys among therapists, and case studies were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of these methods. The results indicate that a multimodal rehabilitation program significantly improves motor function, reduces spasticity, and enhances quality of life by leveraging neuroplasticity. The paper discusses practical aspects of integrating these methods into clinical practice and offers recommendations for future research.
