My twin sister has cerebral palsy. She had a mild case and it affected her motor skills mostly(walking, balance, and speech). She didn't walk until she was 3 and then she walked with a walker. She never liked her walker. She is married with 2 kids now and you can't really tell unless she is sick or tired and then you may notice her balance being off a little. My nephew also has cerebral palsy. He is four and he doesn't walk yet. He stands while holding onto furniture but not by himself (although he has been trying to do it himself lately). He prefers to crawl around and doesn't really like to use his walker. He doesn't speak a lot. He has a few words he will say but he struggles with speech. He is very smart, understands everything, and is in preschool. He is one of sweetest, happiest kids you will ever meet. He is really only behind in motor skills. He wears glasses (and has since he was a baby). They thought he was blind at first also but he isn't.
