Summary

This trial is testing whether regular, short periods of sunlight exposure can increase vitamin D levels in children aged 1-5 with cerebral palsy. Half the children will get 10 minutes of sun three times a week for 8 weeks, while the other half continues their usual routine. The study will also see if this affects the number of respiratory infections and whether any side effects like skin redness occur.
