A member asked:

I have a five year old with cerebral palsy what type of enrichment activites should i give her?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Too generic: Unfortunately, given that children can be affected by cerebral palsy in such a wide variety of ways, this question is too hard to answer without more information. But it would be beneficial to see a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist (physiatry) if you don't already see one.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
