Cerebral Palsy can be very complex. People with CP often need several medications, therapies, and special care depending on their severity of the CP. Although there is no cure for CP, steps can be taken to make life better for someone with CP and may help a person become less dependant on others or equipment and supplies and become more independent. 

I have tried to break down each type of therapy into subcategories. Each subcategory links to examples and more research concerning that particular area of therapy. This page will continually be updated with new content and research so please come back often. Listed below is information that may can get you or a person you know with CP get to a higher level of independence.

Physical Therapies

Occupational Therapies

Electrical Stimulation

Hyberbaric Oxygen Therapy

Other Therapies

Keep in mind that not all of these treatments are available everywhere, nor will they necessarily be effective. Consult with your doctor(s) and therapist(s), talk to people who have tried the treatment, and do your own research. As always, remember that health care is a commodity like any other in the market--caveat emptor! (Buyer beware!)
