Abstract

Patients with cerebral palsy (CP) were found to have narrative difficulty. To examine the exact difficult dimensions, a group of 6 CP patients were investigated on their narrative performance. The 6 adult CP patients attended our collection of narratives and then their narratives were examined concerning the micro- and macro-structure. Altogether five dimensions of Narrative Assessment Profile (NAP) were examined and analyzed, i.e. topic maintenance, event sequencing, explicitness, reference, and conjunctive cohesion. Compared to TD children from 5 to 6, the CP patients manifested differences and similarities. It is shown that CP patients need a corresponding and well-designed intervention plan to improve their ability in keeping consistent in topic, in adding more details, in narrating in chronological order and in using more conjunctions.
