4. Recreational Therapy
Kids who are dealing with the effects of cerebral palsy require special schooling with other special needs kids. Unfortunately, children can be cruel, and they tend to ridicule that which they do not understand. As a result, admitting your child to public school will devastate their self-confidence and self-image if your child’s classmates decide to turn on them.
Kids with CP require managed care when interacting with others to ensure that they understand how to build relationships. Your child needs social integration into a group, just like any other healthy child. Those kids that remain in isolation, away from other children, run the risk of enduring further developmental delays in terms of their social abilities.
Take your child outdoors and let them experience recreational therapies, such as horseback riding. This type of treatment helps to enhance emotional well-being while improving your child’s motor skills and speech.
Sign your child up for a special needs playgroup, and let them interact freely with other kids their age, in a controlled environment.
