Eighteen children with hemiplegia were examined by means of standard neurological and other, specialized, sub-tests to define the extent of their perceptuo-motor dysfunction. Particular attention was paid to auditory language function, praxis, visuo-spatial skills, body schema, tactile defensiveness and inattention. The side of the hemiplegia was not found to predispose to any specific dysfunction, with the exception of inattention which was seen only in those with left-sided hemiplegia. Children with a history of familial sinistrality had a higher incidence of speech problems, particularly in the area of auditory language and speech delay. The results are discussed in the light of therories of plasticity and cerebral organization.
