Can Cerebral Palsy be cured?

Not in the traditional sense, that is, in the medical sense. It can, however, be managed. Management implies a partnership between doctor, therapist, educationalist, parent and child. The fact that cerebral palsy cannot be cured has led to a number of different methods of management of the disorder evolving over the years, each method having its dedicated proponents. While there is no panacea in the management of cerebral palsy, much can be done for each individual. Abilities and problems need to be clearly identified. Short-term goals must be clearly defined.
