Mild CP and tremors

Hi everyone,
We recently had a diagnosis of 'Bilateral Cerebral Palsy with subtle right hemiparesis' for my son, he is 6 and is just about to go into year 2 in primary school.
He has intention (action) tremors that make writing and other fine motor tasks very difficult, just wondered if anyone else on here suffers with tremors and would like to give any advise or discuss ideas.
Thanks

Hi @smcgee83
Welcome to our community and thank you for your post. Has your son been prescribed medication to manage the intention tremor? Medication can lessen the tremor but not stop it completely.
