Hey I have been a little upset coming to terms with high potential of cp, my son is 18 months he was 6weeks premature but he was quite small 3.2pounds, he has had very delayed milestones he has been to see a pediatrician who says they suspect it’s cp he has low tone in his core and some stiffness in his legs although he crawls now it’s been a couple of months before this he was army crawling he pulls himself up to stand and cruises but he pulls himself up in a way which seems like he’s using the strength from his arms rather than pulling up through his feet, I wanted to ask a few questions in regards to how did you get your little one to start walking and what home physio did you do, what worked and how long it takes I do numerous home activities, I’ve recently started vibration therapy as I heard very good things about it

I haven't got any experience @Kshaheen but was just wondering what you've been offered so far? Is he having Physio and Portage?

If I'm honest I'd never heard of it until my DF had her DS who has DS. Portage came to the house each week and did activities to help his development.

There's a bit on Portage and CP here Flowers
