Clinical manifestations of cerebral palsy in children include speech disorders, strabismus, limb spasticity, inability to sit or smile, absence of speech development, drooling, intellectual disability, behavioral or psychiatric abnormalities, inability to walk independently, and inability to roll over unassisted. Cerebral palsy in children may result from congenital underdevelopment or prematurity. Rehabilitation therapy is an effective treatment option for pediatric cerebral palsy. If additional symptoms or discomfort arise, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is recommended.
