Cerebral Palsy
Dedicated to Enhancing the Quality of Life for Children with Cerebral Palsy Through Specialized Care
Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that affects muscle control, posture, and movement. It's caused by brain damage during fetal development or early childhood, leading to a range of symptoms.
While cerebral palsy primarily impacts muscle movement, it can also affect other brain functions. However, having cerebral palsy doesn't necessarily mean someone has intellectual disabilities.
Cerebral palsy symptoms vary; with some children experiencing altered movement, or body parts, appearance, and or behavior.
Movement and development problems
Other Symptoms
Cerebral palsy is diagnosed when the infant is around a year old. Treatments include medication, surgery, speech therapy, occupational therapy, social and emotional support, mental health therapy, etc.
