Hi Crackers
I haven't had any experiences with a child who has mild cerebral palsy, But i can tell you I have been teased all though my high school and it hurt (I have mild cerebral palsy) i was statemented for 5yrs (had extra help in the classroom) at high school, I told my helper about the teasing and she organised for someone who knew about Cerebral Palsy to come in and talk to the pupils, i know u will probabily say it'll won't work, but it will for some of them (they only tease because they don't know what cerebral palsy is) when it's explained to them by someone who knows then more than likely they say sorry (i've just had my ten yr reunion at school and alot of the people that bullied me came up to me and said they were sorry and that they acted like a jerk as they didn't know any better) most of the bulling is peer pressure. My cerebral palsy is hardly noticable when i say to people i've got in they say they never knew. Please tell your daughter i know the pain she;s in as i've been in it myself but it gets better, talking to a teacher she gets alongs with helps. Don't give up your doin great, just continue to be there for you daughter.
I'm 28, Married and a mother of 2, if i can do it
your daughter can do
We can do anything when we put our minds to it.
