In this special episode from the AACPDM annual meeting, Belinda Deramore Denver talks about vision in CP and her current work to better understand how children use their vision to help intervene early and with the right interventions.
These instructional videos brought to you by Enable Ireland are designed to give families the tools to help teach children with ambulatory CP the skills needed to ride a bike with confidence.
An international study recently published in the journal Nature Genetics has provided the first firm evidence that for a substantial number of people, their cerebral palsy (CP) may be caused by a genetic mutation, or mis-spelling in the body’s DNA blueprint.
"In addition to commonly associated environmental factors, genomic factors may cause cerebral palsy. We performed whole-exome sequencing of 250 parent–offspring trios, and observed enrichment of damaging de novo mutations in cerebral palsy cases."
