Child Cerebral Palsy Is Caused By Damage To The Developing Brain

 

Child cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disorder.  Symptoms depend on the severity and type of cerebral palsy and can change over time.  Signs of CP include difficulties with fine motor tasks like writing, problems with balance and walking and involuntary movements.  Sometimes there are associated medical disorders such as seizures.  Signs of cerebal palsy usually tend to appear in a child before the age of 3 years.

 

Causes of child cerebral palsy are sometimes preventable or treatable.  A vaccination can protect the mother from rubella for example.  A test can show Rh incompatibility and there is a treatment for jaundice.  A cerebral palsy lawyer can help parents if they think a medical error could have been the cause of CP in their child as they may be entitled to lifetime benefits.
