- Meet Sebastian. He is a young boy with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. His family wants to help me share treatment suggestions to help children like him across the world. My clinic, Child and Family Development, in Charlotte, NC, allowed me to use their facilities and their equipment to showcase Sebastian's skill and charming personality. We review techniques to reduce stiffness, encourage strength and control. I think you'll love spending time with him. Thank you to this family and my clinic for allowing this to happen.
I also have available 3 children's educational books, "A is for Autism," "D is for Down Syndrome," "C is for Cerebral Palsy," and now 2 professional books "Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Hips", and "Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises for the Knees" available on Amazon. I have forthcoming "A is for ADHD" as well. If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me at amysturkey@gmail.com. Please note: I am unable to provide treatment suggestions for a child I have not personally evaluated.

How long have you been working with Sebastian? His alignment looks great! And I can see that he worked really hard to sit back up. Good job to him! Really glad to have found your channel, I have a 6yr old client with spastic CP too. Now I have a lot to try with him!
I think I have been working with Sebastian for about a year and a half. I am so glad that these videos are going to be helpful for you. Thanks for letting me know.
thank you for the review and helping him. i can definitely empathize with the frustration having been diagnosed with cp when i was 2
So cool that you can share your perspective!

You could volunteer or go to school to help children similar to him
God bless u...I love you
Ohhhh! Thank you! I’ll take all the blessings and love I can get
My brother, 11 yrs also has cerebral palsy. His movements and controls are a bit better than Sebastian but he doesn't seem to understand what we say. Of course, he understands our gestures and makes sounds like Sebastian does but not understandable words. Please do suggest some advice for him.
Sounds like you might want to rule out first that he is hearing. Then I would recommend you consult with a local speech therapist to develop a customized program to develop his expressive and receptive language capabilities. I am an advocate for using shorter concise Communication with children who are nonverbal. Often I supplement my communication with picture cues Or sign language to help determine what Avenue of information a child accesses the best
You're doing a great job doc! I wanna know, do you implement therapeutic approach like NDT in sebastian's training program?
I am NDT trained so it certainly influences me. I don’t focus on any particular technique. I just have found overtime what works for me and gives results with my kids. There is not good clinical efficacy for NDT
@@pediatricPTexercises thank you doc!
Lol. The newer graduating therapist have a doctorate degree, but I do not
I love him too.. his response is good..
if he likes pls try a hair cut.. he will look smart. Just my thought, sorry if that hurts..
His mother thought your comment was so funny! They like his long hair!
Hi mam
