A Challenge for All

There are many facets to consider for the clinician treating cerebral palsy. These range from preventive efforts and identification of risk factors for prospective mothers to early intervention by the rehabilitation team to address strategies for delayed developmental milestones.

Vigilance and thoroughness to provide basic nutritional support, multispecialty assessments, and a cohesive plan with family input are paramount.
