Patient's question:
Your son is almost ready to start kindergarten, but he can only speak two-word sentences, his pronunciation is unclear, he walks unsteadily, swaying from side to side. I am very worried. He has always developed more slowly than other children since he was young, preferring to be alone. His expression is very dull, and he has low intelligence. When he went to the hospital for a check-up, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. What should I do if I discover a newborn with cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
