Should you suspect your child has cerebral palsy, it is crucial that their pediatrician screen and evaluate your child using different methods. Screening processes can involve evaluating and testing your child to determine if there are any developmental issues.
In addition, medical evaluations and specific tests can be performed to determine whether there are any brain abnormalities or damages. For example, EEGs, ultrasounds, and MRIs are common diagnostic tests that may be used. Your child’s pediatrician could also conduct speech, vision, and hearing tests.
