A child has shown signs of dull expression and low activity since childhood, with movements slower than same age peers. After being diagnosed with pediatric cerebral palsy, although the child continues to receive treatment, the effects are limited. The child is well-behaved yet causes concern. How severe is pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Hello, pediatric cerebral palsy can be improved through appropriate treatment. Once a child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, parents should face it bravely and focus on the two core aspects of functional recovery and educational support. Functional recovery is crucial for improving the condition of children with cerebral palsy. Through scientific, correct, and effective rehabilitation training, it can maximize the child’s residual functions, enhance their abilities in self-care, psychological adaptation, social interaction, vocational skills, and economic independence, and minimize the gap between them and healthy children.
