We conducted phone interviews of parents of young females with CP and intellectual disability who had been seen in the CP center at a freestanding children's hospital within the prior 2\u00a0years. Inclusion criteria were English\u2010speaking parents of young females who had combined diagnoses of CP and intellectual disability.

All daughters used wheelchairs for mobility and augmentative technology for communication. Despite homogeneity in functional ability, there was marked variation in parental perception of the significance of puberty for their daughters. Families often learned about reproductive health from informal social networks. Although families acknowledged the need for sexual abuse screening, there was little consensus about how to do it, and most denied that their own daughter could ever be abused.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Interpretation<\/jats:title><jats:p>Parents of young females with CP and intellectual disability have diverse reproductive health beliefs that health
