ABSTRACT

Early intervention and therapy are crucial for children with cerebral palsy, helping them develop essential skills and improve their quality of life. Adaptations in daily life, including personal care and mobility aids, are vital for increasing independence. Education and inclusion in schools ensure that children with cerebral palsy receive the support they need to succeed academically and socially. Social and emotional well-being is also essential, involving building self-esteem, developing social skills, and fostering supportive relationships. This chapter explores various aspects of living with cerebral palsy and how to enhance the lives of those affected.
