cerebral palsy and strategies for educators?

Answer 1

Cerebral palsy is a pretty big disability to simplify. It ranges from very minimal movement problems to spastic movements which can create problems to move around. For example, if the student in a wheelchair, the room has to be set up that the child can maneuver around the room without bumping into a desk or chair. The desk has to be a certain height if the child is in a wheelchair. Depending on the severity and age, the student could be in and out of the classroom for various therapies such as speech, occupational, and physical therapy. I have included some readings that can help you learn more about the subject.

Answer 2

C.P. is a broad diagnosis. Strategies for educators range from physical adaptations, communication strategies and/or devices, and educational modifications. There can be medical considerations, too. C.P. can exist with or without mental retardation....there is no way to answer your question appropriately because it is too general.

You need to do a lot of research....you're not going to get a realistic answer via yahoo. Go to your local library.
