Cerebral palsy in India - A brief overview
It is found that 10% of the global population has some form of disability from different causes; in India, it is 3.8% of the population. Nearly 15-20% of physically disabled children are affected by Cerebral Palsy. In India, the estimated incidence is around 3/1000 live births. Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood. Because of the developing nature of Indian health care in semi-urban and rural areas and the lack of technology used in these areas, cerebral palsy has been a problem seen during my thirty seven years of caring for such patients.
BALAJOTHI THANKS YOU DEAR DONOR for the $520 which you have so generously donated for managing the disability of Cerebral Palsy. This amount has been used for early diagnosis and comprehensive management with a multidisciplinary approach with support from the developmental pediatrician, speech and language therapist, physio and occupational therapist. A complete evaluation of a child with CP must have an assessment of associated deficits like vision, speech and hearing, sensory profile, oromotor evaluation, epilepsy and cognitive functioning.
At Balajothi every child with CP is put through the above process which has proved highly beneficial. Your regular and generous donation will help bring about a transformation of a CP child into a more manageable and better person making himself a self reliant and useful person in society.
Thank you GlobalGiving for the methodical approach and guidance provided in changing the lives of disabled children at Balajothi !! We look forward to your continued guidance and support.
