He is now in year 5 at a speacial needs school and is progressing well but gets upset because he cant keep up with other able bodied boys ,he also gets very tired and is having a job to cope with a full day at school. Has anybody had any similiar experiances or any tips on explaining CP to a 10yr old {anything would be great am at a loss as where to go next} many thanks .
