Cerebral Palsy: Soup to Nuts

Abstract

Children with cerebral palsy have variable medical and developmental needs, which impact their ability to grow and function independently. Therapy interventions for fine motor skills, speech and mobility skills can be of benefit. The importance of optimizing vision, hearing, nutrition, and spasticity control also impacts learning, growth and function as well as reducing secondary complications such as fractures. This article reviews recent literature for clinical updates that impact these areas.
