The linguistic development of children with cerebral palsy

Abstract

Children of CP (Cerebral Palsy) undergo reasonable delay in the acquisition of language along with some other acquisitions such as logical reasoning, motor ability, etc. The focus of this research paper is to observe the major linguistic developments in children suffering from CP plus to hypothesize whether they could be conditioned to learning language. 10 children have been observed at a school, PRAYAS Centre. Parents of two of those children and the principal of PRAYAS have been interviewed as well.
