[quote=Anonymous]Mom of child with cerebral palsy. (Actually, I loved the "celebrating" palsy!) A developmental physician cannot rule out CP on examination. I would take your child to the movement disorders clinic at Kennedy-Krieger in Baltimore. Alec Hoon is the best at evaluating whether your child has a motoric disorder. With kids with motoric disorders who cannot explore their world effectively (reach out and grab things, point, communicate effectively), it is too easy to label their problems as intellectual. I'm betting you have a smart cookie there. How about some alternative communication help? Is he in speech therapy?[/quote]
