  • Summary

  • It can be so hard to figure out exactly what's going on with our kids, especially when they have cerebral palsy. It feels like everything gets put under that one umbrella, even when we know there might be more to the story.

    It's really important to remember that cerebral palsy doesn't explain every challenge our children face. They might be struggling with things that aren't directly related to cerebral palsy, and those things deserve attention too.

    Today’s episode highlighted a recent study about just how common it is for children with cerebral palsy to also have other diagnoses, like ADHD and autism.

    The study found that two-thirds of children with cerebral palsy also had either autism, ADHD, or an intellectual disability. This figure means we need to be proactive about getting our kids screened for these other conditions if we begin to notice impacts on learning and communication
