Attorney Lisa Weinstein Discusses Signs of Cerebral Palsy

A parent once asked me, “What are some signs and symptoms that my child may have cerebral palsy?” These are some common characteristics of cerebral palsy, which is often caused by brain damage during the labor and delivery process:

• Difficulty feeding oneself
• Developmental delays
• Failure to reach milestones – such as rolling over, sitting, crawling or walking
• Dragging ones feet
• Walking on tiptoes
• Behavioral problems
• Therapies: speech therapy, occupational therapy, or physical therapy
• Fine motor control deficits
• Delayed language milestones
• Cognitive delays
• Abnormally low muscle tone (hypotonia)
• Abnormally high muscle tone (hypertonia)
