When I was 2 years old they started me in the stander and my dad even made me one of my own to use outside of school. Unfortunately, when I was mainstreamed at school I had to stop using the stander. To this day I hope to have a stander again, one with a motor on it so I can go out for a walk like everyone else, that would be so cool.
Hi, Our son Jaysen (see the video response above)used to sit in a wheel chair all day .. we used to use a stander..still have it, but jay really don't need it anymore , that being said Jay is a severe quadriplegic and doing much better than most children who are falling on walkers and tipping over on so called therapeutic (FDA pipeline)tricycles receiving concussion / TBI injuries which parents,therapists and Dr's do not like to admit. .....so sad
CP hurts horribly and it gets worse as you age. The persons ability to cope is directly related to aropriate intervention and unconditional acceptence in the home. It can be very difficult.
is he verbal? u said he was very high functioning...just wondering. there is a boy in my high school with cerebral palsy and he can talk but has some other issues too.
i don't have any thing wrong with me but my lil sis had uwing sarcoma a type of bone cancer and she got it twice it was hard for her cause she lost her hair but she is a survivor
@LadyRochii exactly same for me. cp can be so frustrating when your body doesnt listen to your brain. but u figure out what works for u, even if it looks weird.

I remember the stander. Man pain in the butt but worth it in the long run.
