Not really, - my deaf son has CP (cerebral palsy) and if anything, I'm told it get's a little bit worse as you grow older. 20 plus.

He's 27 now.

Answer 2

OK you need a excellent hospital and I happen to know from our own family experience where it is. The Alferd I DuPont childrens hospital in Wilmington Delaware they have many doctors who help children with CP. My cousins son has gone there since she found out they can do surgeries for the arms and leg muscles which stretch them and they can use these limbs and have less problems. I sent a coworker there and her grandson was 3 and not walking because of CP they had him walking and supplied the equipment to help him. She said without that hospital her grandsons life would have grim since all the local specialist said he would NEVER walk. One of the surgeons flies throught the world assisting places like China with the surgery he invented. They have people from all over the world come there for help. There is a Ronald McDonald house real close to stay in and they offer shuttles. Go to the link and look through their site they have a excellent team for CP and they can change your childs outcome. Here is the link http://www.nemours.org/internet?url=no/aidhc/index.html
I take my child there for diabetes and they are always on top of all the new medical advancements before they are in the magazines from the ADA. It is always in your childs best intrest to get the best help available. Good luck. My cousins boy is 20 years old now he is walking with a slight gait his arms are no longer affected and other than the slightly flatter head on one side you would never know he had CP. She was told he would be dead by 12 and never walk or talk guess the doctors did not know A I DuPont could work the impossible.

Answer 3

Cerebral palsy is often associated with seizures. Seizures can be noticed when there is an uncontrolled contraction of muscles in an area of the body. A seizure can also be recognized by a small moment of "black out" that can seem like daydreaming. Seizures are most frequently caused by injury to the brain, brain tumors, low blood sugars, as can happen in diabetes, high fevers, and in epilepsy.

Answer 4

cerebral palsy is a common disability that is caused, often, by insufficient oxygen during pregnancy and or labour which injures the brain.

It is in effect a brain injury and all brain injuries can be treated.

do ensure the seizures are properly controlled by medication.

There are a whole myriad of therapeutic treatments for people with brain injury and you will need to sort through them and find what works best for your child.....

some of the therapies available are

acupoint percussion therapy: this is a treatment which involves tapping on acupuncture points, rather than actually using needles you just tap the points... there are many practitioners of this treatment and like all treatments you need to shop around for the right practitioner for you.

physiotherapy: physical therapy includes a whole range of exercises and activities that can be included in every day activities as part of the routine, play and life of your child without being considered a chore...

occupational therapy: occupational therapists assist you in finding the method for teaching your child new skills that works best for you ad they should take the family's needs and culture into account when helping to plan.

speech therapy: the title speech therapy is a bit misleading because a speech therapist also assists in feeeding and eating problems too as well as in developing language skills with your child.

music therapy: this is a detailed and intensive form of therapy that is studied and practiced at Unversity of Western Sydney in Australia and various other countries as well

Do also research Lilli Nielsen (sp?) and her Little Room technology.... it is a wonderful piece of equipment that aids your child in gaining many skills.

Having spent years finding therapies for my daughter I can say that at times it does feel like you are going two steps forward and three steps back.... but your child will progress if you persist and follow through on the therapies that work for your child and you..

If you want more information about any of these therapies and other I know I will think of later on... then do contact me and I will be ahppy to help..

Answer 5

Drugs can be used to control seizures. The cerebral palsy cannot be cured, but due to medical research, many patients can enjoy near normal lives if their neurological problems are properly managed.
Talk to the doctor, find support groups. Those parents can tell you what seems to be working, and whats not working for their child.

Best of luck to your family.

Answer 6

Chiropractic could help CP, if you can find a good doctor. Look for one in your area that uses the Gondstead Method.

Answer 7

no treatment is available for Cp per se...
You and she will both need a lot of support.
