What is the name of this disability?

Question

A student of mine has a disability. I haven't looked at her records, but thought maybe someone would recognize her symptoms.
She has vision problems, but does not wear glasses. When she talks to you, she does not look directly at you, but rather over the top of your head.
She has a limp and one of her hands is very stiff. She seems to have problems gripping with that hand.
She does not appear to have any learning disability.
Is this cerebral palsy?

Yes, the the still arm/hand and limp are on the same side.
It does seem that one eye is "lazy", but neither eye focuses on you when she address you.

Answer 1

Possibly she suffered from a stroke, or polio. This has left residual disability. Vision problem is not associated. It needs more details to say anything for sure.

Answer 2

It sounds much like cerebral palsy and perhaps a mild case of it. The vast majority have strabismus, a turning out or in of one eye. Perhaps this is along with poor coordination is why she looks over the top of your head. CPs are often myopic (near-sighted) as well. There are 3 major types of CP and with one of them , Spastic Cerebral Palsy, there can be stiffness and spasticity on one side only. Are the limp and hands stiffness on the same side of the body?

Answer 3

could be. CP's ( as they sometimes call themselves) have trouble focusing their eyes, and sometimes have spastic problems, likle they are making a fist. It very well could be CP. that would be my guess.
