Cerebral Palsy
- Signs of CP may include:
- motor asymmetry such as early hand preference (not seen in typically developing children until 18 months of age)
- “thumb-in-fist” posture beyond 7 months of age
- inability to sit independently by 9 months of age
and altered muscle tone, such as scissoring of the legs

- When a child is identified as having a possible neuromotor disorder, the AAP recommends that the primary care clinician take 3 actions simultaneously:
- initiate a diagnostic workup based on the suspected disorder
- refer to a medical specialist to complete the diagnostic evaluation
- refer for treatment to Early Intervention programs and therapists.
