Have Trouble Speaking And Doing Everyday Activities Due To Cerebral Palsy. What Are The Odds Of Complete Treatment?
Hi: I have a very good friend whose daughter is 49 and has had cerebrel palsy since birth. Lynn is becoming more dependable to the wheel chair and is doing less physical things. She also has trouble talking. It takes her a long time to get her words out. She is not open to new things. Now that she is older her Mom and step Dad are older too and she is getting harder to take care of. Being their friend, I thought that there must be someone out there that can help her. We all live in the Williamsburg, Va. area.
If she has spasticity of legs hampering with her walking, then, botox injections would also help.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
