The neuro my 2 year old daughter sees is testing her for autism and that's it.. i think she may have cerebral palsy how can i get her tested.!?

Hx & Exam: The definition of CP is a disorder of movement & posture due to injury to the developing nervous system that ocrurred anytime from pregnancy to 3 yrs of age. If you have seen a neuro & s/he is not concerned about the kids movements, you have been checked. However, there are mild forms of CP that may not become evident untill more refined movements are expected as an older child.

State & local EI : Take your daughter for a multi-disciplinary team evaluation of all areas of her development at the idea part c early intervention program in youngstown. 25% delays in 2 areas or a 50% delay in 1 area confer eligibility. No referral nor diagosis is needed. At the ifsp, request occupational & physical therapy evals, an ados to clarify the degree of autism & a d/b pede evaluation for etiology.

Discuss with neuro: I would have a discussion of your concerns about your child's condition with her neurologist. Make sure you understand what is on the neurologistsmind and what can be done to answer the question about cerebral palsy.
