  ABSTRACT: As long as physical disability is considered in terms of a continuous, dynamic, and dialectical relationship among personal and environmental factors, task characteristics will play an important role. The main purpose of this study is to confirm levels of motivation and self-regulation in students with Cerebral Palsy when confronted with an adapted ball throwing task. Using the dynamic approach of Self-Regulated Learning, a theory-driven Multiple Indicators and Multiple Causes model was eventually qualified. It comprised four levels of functioning, namely goal-setting, motor performance, efficacy beliefs, and self-reflections. These facets were greatly influenced by intellectual functions, hand functions, initial goals, coping self-efficacy, and throwing distance. Results underscore the role of disability and personal factors. Further research should expand on personal characteristics and focus on the longitudinal, i.e., developmental, examination for the proposed causal effects.
