ABSTRACT
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a non-progressive disorder of the motor system secondary to brain injury during early development. Associated non-motor problems are frequent and contribute significantly to the disability. While spastic CP is the commonest, dyskinetic CP continues to be a problem in our contribute. Acquired CP mostly secondary to CNS infections constitutes a significant proportion of cases in developing countries. Early diagnosis, proper assessment of the functional capacity and needs of the child and providing early intervention are important. A multidisciplinary approach to management with active parental involvement helps the child achieve his potential.
