Can the child with cerebral palsy walk and talk in the future?

Patient's question:

My child is now 19 months old. Currently, he has high muscle tone, foot drop, and inversion. He cannot speak, unconsciously calls for "Mom," and cannot chew. After undergoing an MRI scan, it was found that he suffers from cerebral palsy.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the earlier the treatment, the better. The focus of treatment is rehabilitation, and early rehabilitation has good effects. However, cerebral palsy cannot be cured. It is impossible to be like a normal person. It is recommended to go to a formal hospital specializing in cerebral palsy for treatment. First, determine whether it is cerebral palsy. Nowadays, many hospitals diagnose other causes of motor development delay as cerebral palsy. In that case, if only rehabilitation treatment is carried out, it will delay the child's condition. It should be treated according to the primary disease.
