I think you should talk to a physiatrist or orthopedist about Botox, since they have to prescribe it. We have had it at both CNMC and Kennedy-Kreiger. At CNMC it is given under general anesthesia which I don't think is necessary. KKI it is just given like a shot.

For mild CP, I frankly wouldn't think it necessary.

You may want to do a search on the blog world if that is possible because I know I have read at least 1 blog where the person tried it and I don't recall if in the long run they were pleased or not.
