This research aimed to investigate the care practices of mothers of children with cerebral palsy (CP), living in the city of Belém and the Metropolitan Region. For this, it was necessary to correlate sociodemographic variables with the practical variable of care and its dimensions. The sample consisted of 24 mothers of children with CP and the instruments used were the Sociodemographic Inventory, the Gross Motor Function Classification System, and the Parental Beliefs and Care Practices Scale. As a result, it was possible to know the influence of the mother's behavior on the development of children with cerebral palsy from the characteristics of care practices. In general, it was observed that mothers have less effective care practices, with the dimension Stimulation by object (P-SO) being the highest percentage for the less effective practices and Primary Care (P-PC) the dimension of higher percentage of more effective practices.
