can you elaborate on that?
i have cerebral palsy.. the left side of my boy is paralyzed and i can’t speak.
talking…. try to pucker your lips repeatedly and try to pull them apart with a wooden stick the doctors use or something, and just try to learn new words.. there are lots of things there.. try to practice controlling your tongue.. i could never learn to talk, but it can be done.
walking, well.. that can be difficult.. get a walker and slowly learn if you have the capability, an even if you can’t, you can improve your ability.. get help and do physio therapy.. stretch the hamstrings and other muscles.. i never got into it, and i am paying for it already and i’m only 16.. i can’t stress the importance of physio therapy enough.
Same thing for arms and other body parts,practice and do physio therapy..
NOWW for more in depth things such as ability to write, and things like that.. you have to help the person and watch them slowly improve, they may not ever get perfect at it, but they will certainly slowly improve.. do puzzles, draw, practice writing, and you will see some improvement..
I would advise you to talk to a physio therapist about this.
I am lucky enough to have had no intellectual brain damage, i am ahead grades and on the honor role.
it depends on the type of cerebral palsy .What type of motor control gross or fine?
Most likely it would be resistance and light weight training swimming adapted aerobic or anaerobic work outs. get a a trainer who can work with your physician and come up with some solutions that will allow you to work on motor control and over all conditioning using therapies like Pilate and yoga that can be adopted to your specific needs and abilities

crossword puzzles?
And perhaps some light walking.
