Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This research is based on determining the reliability and validity of the above scales for Flanders so that they can be implemented within the CP-referencecentre. In addition, the mutual relationship between the scales and the relationship between the CFCS-NL and the other classification scales for CP (GMFCS, MACS \& EDACS) will be determined. The VSS will also be translated into Dutch beforehand, this is a collaboration with the VU University Amsterdam (dr. Joke Geytenbeek).
The study is a cross-sectional study. The patients (n = 20) will be recruited during the consultations at the CP-referencecentre between February 1, 2019 and April 30, 2019. The selection criteria consist of: diagnosis of CP, age of 4 t.e.m. 10 years, single language education in Dutch, no diagnosis of ASD and a signed Informed Consent Form.
A questionnaire bundle will be given to the parents of the participating patients (completion time approx. 30 to 45 minutes). This includes a few questionnaires about characteristics of the child / filler, two questionnaires about the social communication skills and the social interaction skills of the child, and the CFCS and VSS scales which the parents have to score. This questionnaire bundle (with the exception of the questionnaires concerning social communication skills and social interaction skills) will also be given to the child's teacher and a treating paramedic. In addition, an appointment will also be made at the patients house where a video recording (2x15min) will be made in which the child interacts with a trusted person and an untrusted person (the researcher) so that the CFCS- NL and the VSS-NL scores of the child can be determined by the student and the speech therapists of the CP-referencecentre. During that appointment one of the parents will also be interviewed using the subdomain "Social Functioning" of the PEDI-NL.
After data collection, a quantitative data analysis is performed to obtain an answer to the research questions.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Patients
Group of patients with CP aged 4 to 10 years.
Observation at home.
An appointment will be made at home, first one of the parents will be interviewed using the 'Social Functioning' subdomain of the PEDI-NL (Ostensjo, Bjorbaekmo, Brogren Carlberg, \& Vollestad, 2006) to determine the validity of the CFCS-NL and the VSS NL . This section contains some aspects that question the communication skills. The PEDI-NL was chosen as there is no gold standard to investigate functional communication in people with CP. Most standardized test and observational instruments only investigate language comprehension and / or language production and are furthermore developed for normally developing children. On the other hand, a video recording will be made in which the child interacts with a relative and an unknown person (the researcher) so that the CFCS-NL and VSS-score can be determined by the student and the speech therapists of the CP reference center.
