Data were collected using the Child-Parent Information Form and the Self-Care Assessment Scale for Children with CP aged 3-6 years Parent Form (SPÇÖRS-EF). Descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis, Cronbach alpha, test-retest, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test, Bartlett test, explanatory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data. The research was conducted with the parents of children aged 3-6 years old with cerebral palsy who came to nine special education and rehabilitation centers in four provinces in western Turkey to receive physical therapy between June 5 and December 5, 2023. The sample of the study was calculated by taking at least five times the total number of items in the scale (25 items*5=125, n=125). Non-probability random sampling method was used in sample selection. The research was completed with the participation of 127 parents. According to post hoc power analysis, this sample size was confirmed to be sufficient for 97% power (with a medium effect size d = 0.3 and α = 0.05 type I error). Criteria for inclusion in the study; The children were between the ages of 3-6 (36-72 months), lived with their parents, and the parents were at least literate and able to speak and understand Turkish.

Primary	To asses Turkish validity and reliability of Self-Care Assessment Scale for Children with CP aged 3-6 years	This study is a methodological study to develop the self-care assessment scale-parent form of children with CP aged 3-6 years and test its validity and reliability. The scale includes 24 items to question the child's self-care skills, such as independent nutrition, eating, being able to express himself while meeting his basic needs, toileting, dressing, washing hands and face, brushing teeth, cleaning his nose and expressing himself when he is sleepy, in accordance with his age. The scale is a 5-point Likert type, and each item is scored between 1-5, from "Always (independent)" to "Never (completely dependent)". In the scale, the 4th, 8th, 17th, 23rd scale items are reversed to obtain the total scale score. A minimum of 24 and a maximum of 120 points can be obtained from the scale. A high score from the scale indicates that the child with CP has good self-care skills.	six month from the beginning of the study
