Currently, there is no cure for cerebral palsy. Medical treatment can vastly improve the life of a child with cerebral palsy, but those suffering from the disorder often require a lifetime of specialized care. Because cerebral palsy severely limits a child’s mobility and balance, the common treatment is physical therapy. Other treatments for cerebral palsy can include: Occupational therapy; Speech therapy; Surgery; Treatment by a neurologist; Long-term medications; In-home care in some cases.
