Abstract
Several models of determinants of needs of families of children and youth with cerebral palsy were tested using structural equation modeling. Five hundred seventy-nine parents completed the Family Needs Survey and measures of child, family, and service characteristics. The models explained 32% of variance in needs related to child condition, 43% of variance in needs related to community and financial resources, and 33% of variance in needs related to family functioning. Access to services, service coordination, processes of care, and family relationships were common determinants of family needs; whereas child adaptive behavior, communication problems, gross motor function, and family income were unique determinants of specific types of needs. The implications for family-centered services that address family needs are discussed.
