Patient's question:
My child is now just over 4 months old. The child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth. Due to the child's age, treatment has not been possible, but the family has been giving the child regular exercise. I would like to ask, are children with cerebral palsy intellectually normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question. Although intellectual disability is one of the main symptoms of cerebral palsy children, it does not mean that cerebral palsy children are intellectually inferior. Only about 25% of cerebral palsy patients have symptoms of intellectual disability, while the rest of the children are normal or close to normal. Therefore, children with cerebral palsy may not have intellectual impairments. The key is to pay attention to scientific and comprehensive treatment, including surgical treatment and rehabilitation training.
