    Hi @diamondheart

    Cerebral palsy is a disorder of posture and/or movement that results from the immature brain either being damaged or failing to form correctly. It is a diverse condition that affects each individual in a way that is specific to them.
    Your son should be under the care of a paediatrician and should be given access to regular physiotherapy this will help with his mobility and coordination and help you access mobility equipment. We have lots of information about Cerebral Palsy
