If you have a child who has been recently diagnosed with cerebral palsy you may be feeling apprehensive about what the future holds for you and your family.
It is important to remember that cerebral palsy is as individual as the child themselves. Your child will grow and develop as they get older and therefore have changing needs as they grow – just as any child does.
This guide aims to look at some of the main questions, concerns and issues surrounding having a child with cerebral palsy: what it is, why it happens, what the symptoms of cerebral palsy are, how to help care for a family member and aids for cerebral palsy to make daily tasks simpler for carers or those living with the condition.
We have also included links throughout this guide, plus a list of useful agencies at the end, which offer additional information and support around the issues surrounding cerebral palsy. NRS Healthcare is dedicated to ‘Putting People First’ and we hope you find this guide useful if you’re living with, or know of someone living with, cerebral palsy.
