It is possible for many children with C.P to lead productive life. With training most of them learn to look after themselves, though a small number may need supervision for several years.
A child with C.P improves much faster if both parents share the responsibilities of his care. Living in a caring joint family can prove advantageous. As a child with C.P often needs extra care, there is always a possibility that your spouse or other children may feel neglected and this can lead to other problems . Guard against this by involving them in the care of the special child.
