Cerebral Palsy is an umbrella term for a number of neurological issues which affect movement and coordination. These conditions arise due to problems that affect the brain and nervous system in the areas that control the muscles.

Occupational Therapists often use sensory equipment to help someone with cerebral palsy to work on a wide variety of life skills, such as speech development or fine motor control. The motivation provided by the sensory room can be invaluable in helping to boost user’s self-esteem and independence.
Sensory equipment for users with cerebral palsy should be engaging and challenging, but not frustrating to perform lots of repetitions. Repetitions help to improve motor skills because they promote neuroplasticity. When an individual with cerebral palsy repetitively practices a movement, the brain senses a demand for that function and rewires it to healthy, undamaged areas of the brain. With consistent stimulation, the neural pathways for that movement get stronger and it gets easier to perform.
