Speech therapy helps people with cerebral palsy (CP) by improving their ability to communicate and manage difficulties related to speech, language, and swallowing. Cerebral palsy often affects the muscles involved in speech production, including those in the face, jaw, and…

Occupational therapy (OT) plays a vital role in supporting children with cerebral palsy (CP) by focusing on enhancing their ability to perform everyday activities and improving their overall quality of life. Unlike approaches that concentrate solely on underlying impairments, modern…

Physical therapy plays a **crucial and multifaceted role** in managing cerebral palsy (CP), a neurological disorder affecting movement and posture due to brain injury or malformation during early development. The primary goal of physical therapy in CP is to improve…

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) can learn to walk or improve their walking ability through a variety of therapies that focus on enhancing motor function, muscle strength, balance, and coordination. These therapies are designed to address the specific neuromuscular impairments…

Cerebral palsy (CP) significantly affects feeding in infants primarily due to the neurological impairments that disrupt the coordination and control of muscles involved in sucking, swallowing, and breathing. These difficulties arise because CP is a brain disorder that impairs motor…

Speech problems in cerebral palsy (CP) arise primarily because CP affects the brain areas responsible for controlling the muscles involved in speech production. These difficulties are common, with about 60% of children with CP experiencing challenges in speech, language, and…

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) can experience hearing loss, although it is not universally present in all cases. Hearing impairment in children with CP is often linked to the underlying brain injury or neurological damage that causes CP, which can…

Cerebral palsy (CP) can indeed affect vision, primarily through a condition known as **cerebral visual impairment (CVI)**, which is the most common cause of visual impairment in children with CP, especially in developed countries[2][4]. Unlike eye problems caused by damage…

Cerebral palsy (CP) and intellectual disability (ID) are two distinct but often interconnected neurodevelopmental conditions that frequently co-occur due to shared underlying brain abnormalities. Understanding their connection requires exploring the nature of CP, the causes of intellectual disability, and how…

Epilepsy is a common neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures, and it frequently co-occurs with cerebral palsy (CP), a group of permanent movement and posture disorders caused by non-progressive disturbances in the developing brain. Understanding how common epilepsy is among…
