Hello,

Below are some links about some activities to assist a child with Cerebral Palsy

Apart from the above links

Try to keep the child with CP active. Even though CP can make movement difficult, it's important for individuals with CP to stay active and improve mobility and muscle tone.
Find the Right Equipment.
Join a Support Group
Provide Healthy Food.
Celebrate Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month to motivate, to encourage the child.

Obstacle courses with soft surfaces (like pillows or foam mats) can encourage walking while making it safe and engaging. Balloon volleyball or kicking a soft ball can help with leg strength in a fun way. Animal walks (like bear crawls or crab walks) can also build muscle in a playful way, depending on mobility. If they like music, dancing or rhythm-based stepping games can be great too! Hope that helps!
