The article analyzes the features of the manifestation of the level of anxiety in children with motor impairments in comparison with children with normal development. The reasons that increase the level of anxiety in children with cerebral palsy were revealed: not only physical limitations leading to the social isolation of the sick child's personality, but also an incorrect attitude towards such a child on the part of family members and the immediate environment. Thus, the child's feeling of his own uselessness and uselessness, both physical and social, naturally increases his level of anxiety, irritability and even hostility towards the outside world. The ways of solving this problematic situation are proposed: psychological counseling of families with a child with impaired motor functions, creating in such a child a sense of social value and equality, compensating for his physical imperfections.
