Abstract
This review aims to investigate the challenges and family acceptance of Asian and European families caring for children with cerebral palsy. Ten articles were found through searches of four databases. In both Asian and European contexts, the review reveals a variety of challenges faced by families (physical, psychological, social, emotional and financial). Family acceptance plays a substantial role in overcoming these challenges. In Asian contexts, cultural belief, stigma, prejudice and discrimination have a significant impact on family acceptance, whereas in European contexts, family acceptance is affected by children’s and families’ conditions, parents’ optimism, and their access to health and educational services.
