Abstract
⺠Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often show difficulties in arithmetic performance. ⺠We explored which cognitive and motor variables are related to arithmetic. ⺠116 primary school children with a formal diagnosis of CP participated. ⺠In the cognitive model, word decoding and non-verbal intelligence were associated. ⺠In the combined model, word decoding and fine motor skills were related to arithmetic.
