Cerebral Palsy Symptoms
Learn the common symptoms of cerebral palsy. If your child is impacted, you may be able to access the money your family needs for care.
Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects how your body moves. Let's explore some of the common symptoms that can occur.
One symptom of cerebral palsy is trouble with fine motor skills. This means that tasks like writing, drawing, or using buttons and zippers can be more challenging.
Mobility can be affected by cerebral palsy, making it harder to walk or move around. Some children with CP may need assistive devices like crutches or a wheelchair to help them get around.
Cerebral palsy can affect coordination, making it harder to control movements. This might result in stumbling, trouble with balance, or difficulty performing activities that require precise coordination.
Another symptom of cerebral palsy can be difficulties with speech. Some children with CP may have trouble speaking clearly or pronouncing certain sounds, which can affect their ability to communicate.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 41% of children with cerebral palsy had limited ability to crawl, walk, run, or play.
It's important to note that in some cases, cerebral palsy may be caused by medical malpractice. If you suspect negligence or improper medical care, we may be able to help.
