Question
Compared to peers, a three-year-old child has unclear speech, slow movements, slow reactions, and poor memory. Could these be symptoms of cerebral palsy? How do children with cerebral palsy exhibit their characteristics?
Answer
Typical symptoms of cerebral palsy include developmental delays in movement, abnormal muscle tone, abnormal posture, and abnormal reactions. In the early stages, there may also be symptoms such as hyperactivity, difficulty falling asleep, and feeding difficulties. Cerebral palsy is actually a manifestation of brain development disorders, where children may experience delayed responses, intellectual disabilities, or delays in the development of motor and other functional abilities. It is recommended to discover and actively treat it as soon as possible.
