What characteristics does one look for when considering if their child has CP? What age do doctors usually diagnose this? What are the reasons for it? I know there are lots of causes but in your expierences what was the cause? My daughters doc has mentioned it as a possibility, but that is all that was said. I didn't know if there was an actual test for it or just the doc says so. I was just wanting some parents input on what to look for. Especially any unique symptoms, that aren't the classic signs. Thanks.

Usually children are diagnosed in the early years of life but my son was not until he was 15 years old,there is test that do determine if a child suffers from cp.It is a brain injury that can be caused by lack of oxygen,and can affect anyone,some sign are numbness in any parts like arms,legs feet and the non ability to not move those extremities at all or very little ask the doctor to run the cp test and find if in fact your child has cp and depending on the severity of it it may be handled with some physical therapy and pain medicines but depends on what kind of cp your child may or may not have.
