Patient's question:
Born with hypoxia, now 2.5 years old, can walk holding both hands, can understand his own name, but cannot communicate, does whatever he wants, ignores whatever we do, and is happy when he gets his way. A doctor diagnosed him with athetoid cerebral palsy, and an EEG shows slow waves. I don't know how to communicate with him.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy: Secondary changes such as joint contractures and spinal deformities also develop gradually. It can be accompanied by epilepsy, intellectual disability, sensory disorders, behavioral disorders, etc. The manifestations of cerebral palsy can be divided into multiple types. First, family members should face the issue, and if possible, the child should be sent to a rehabilitation center for comprehensive training. Common methods include: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and recreational therapy, etc.
