Cerebral Palsy Program
The Cerebral Palsy Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is a weekly clinic that provides the full range of care for children with cerebral palsy and related conditions. While there is no known cure for cerebral palsy, we offer many therapies and interventions that can improve well-being and quality of life for children with this condition.
We can help optimize your child’s motor development and provide techniques that can prevent issues like joint deformity. We partner with other CHOP programs to offer services such as:
- Spasticity management
- Orthopedic monitoring and surgical care
- Developmental assessment
- Physical, occupational and speech/language therapy
- Medical equipment and assistive technology
We also emotionally support your family to help you cope with any challenges.
