An intervention study designed to investigate the effects of one hour of maternal instruction on verbal and nonverbal maternal and infant behavior was conducted using experimental and control groups of mothers and their infants with cerebral palsy. Ten mother-infant pairs were in each group; infants ranged in age from 8 to 32 months. Infants of mothers in the control group received one hour of NDT-based occupational therapy.

Implications of the results for intervention programs and future research were discussed.
