What types of cerebral palsy are most common?

Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common type (about 80%), causing stiff muscles. Other types include dyskinetic (involuntary movements), ataxic (balance and coordination issues), and mixed types. The Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore (CPAS) provides specialised support for all types.

What assistive technology helps children with cerebral palsy?

Depending on needs, children may benefit from wheelchairs, walkers, standing frames, communication devices (AAC), and adaptive computer equipment. Singapore's Assistive Technology Fund helps cover costs, and SG Enable provides assessment and recommendation services.

How can I access physiotherapy for cerebral palsy in Singapore?

Physiotherapy is available at public hospitals (KKH, NUH, TTSH), CPAS, and private clinics. EIPIC centres include physiotherapy in their programmes. Most children benefit from regular physiotherapy combined with home exercise programmes. Hydrotherapy and hippotherapy are also available.
