Introduction: Social participation (SP) of children with cerebral palsy (CP) may be limited by various factors. Domains of occupational therapy were within the Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance (PEOP) model.

Aim: The study aim was to identify the literature regarding the impact of occupational performance on the social participation of children with cerebral palsy.

Method: A scoping review explored peer-reviewed and grey literature from 2013-2023 to incorporate data/experiences via search databases, internet search engines blogs/websites, and manual searches. The inclusion criteria were participants with CP aged 10-18. Data analysis was carried out through qualitative content analysis.

Findings: Twenty-nine articles and 14 blogs/websites were included. The impairment's severity and environmental factors emphasizing the parental role and income were prominent influences on OP and SP. The importance of social support was highlighted through experiences presented in grey literature. The themes aligned with the categories of the PEOP model, where a mismatched category occurred, related to sexuality.

Conclusion: This review pointed out the factors that influence OP and SP presented based on the categories of the PEOP model, including the mismatched category.

Significance: The importance of the representative role of occupational therapy was emphasized. The results indicated future research recommendations based on school type and sexuality.
