Question

What are the symptoms of cerebral palsy in children?

Answer

The symptoms of cerebral palsy in children include motor impairments, posture impairments, language impairments, visual and auditory impairments, growth and development impairments, dental growth and development impairments, facial function impairments, emotional and behavioral impairments, and epilepsy. Children with cerebral palsy have lower activity levels than typically developing children. They may have poor self-control in activities, be uncoordinated or clumsy, struggle to grasp objects, have unstable gait, and may not be able to crawl, sit up, stand, or chew and swallow normally.
