Question
My child has already started speaking, but my child has not yet started speaking, and sometimes when I play with him, he doesn’t laugh or show any reaction. It feels like his response is a bit slow. There are no physical symptoms. Could this be a sign of pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Common symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy include vision impairment (such as strabismus and amblyopia), sensory impairment (difficulty in determining the size and shape of objects), and intellectual or learning disabilities. Some children may exhibit varying degrees of mental and learning disabilities, especially in cases with severe motor impairments. It is advisable to consult a doctor promptly for professional diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
