Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a common neuro-developmental disability noticed among children. It results in feeding difficulties as there is poor co-ordination in sucking, chewing and swallowing the food. The purpose of this study was to understand the feeding difficulties and nutritional status of children with cerebral palsy. The sample of this study constituted 60 children with CP. They were selected by purposive sampling method from rural areas of Dindigul and Virudhunagar districts of Tamil Nadu. Interview method was adopted to collect data from the parents, teachers and care takers of the children with cerebral palsy. Nutritional status of the children was assessed by anthropometric assessments such as height, weight and by calculating Body Mass Index (BMI). Through interview and observation during their meal time feeding difficulties in children were identified. It was found out that children with high feeding difficulties were severely wasted and wasted. Nutritional status of the children with CP decreases with increase in the percentage of disability.
