Cerebral Palsy /Developmental Disorder Clinic


This clinic is for children with cerebral palsy and other developmental disorders. A physiatrist specializing in pediatric rehabilitation evaluates the status of the child thoroughly and discusses plans for current and long-term management, home-care, as well as dispenses information about the prognosis and precautions. Treatment uses a combination of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medication, orthosis, botulinum toxin injection and possible referral to the surgical department depending on the condition of the child. All of the interventions usually center on developing a few key areas of improvement including physical movement and coordination, speech, vision, and intellectual development. Ongoing treatment and options are available that can make life better for children with cerebral palsy.
