  2. Cerebral Palsy the damage caused to the brain before or during birth, at infancy, or during the early toddler years. Cerebral Palsy is a misconnection in the brain that that causes a child not to be able to control his or her muscles. What is Cerebral Palsy?

  3. Cerebral Palsy causes stiffness of the limbs and trunk, the body to have involuntary movements, and instability while walking. • Delays in reaching milestones like crawling, sitting up alone, or even pushing up on arms, favoring one side of the body, excessive drooling or having problems swallowing, delays in speech development, and difficulties with particular movements like picking up a pencil or a crayon. What is Cerebral Palsy?

  4. Classification • Cerebral palsy is divided into four classifications. These classifications reflect the areas of the brain that are damaged and the different movement impairments. • Spastic, ataxic, athethosis, and mixed. Classification

  5. Spastic is stiffness in muscles and inflated reflexes. • Ataxic is the lack of muscle coordination. • Athethosis is having a difficulty with fine motor movements. • Mixed is a combination of the three. Classification

  6. One in three hundred and three eight year old children has some level or type of Cerebral Palsy. Prevalence

  7. A child over two months with cerebral palsy might: • Have difficulty controlling head when picked up • Have stiff legs that cross or "scissor" when picked up • A child over six months with cerebral palsy might: • Continue to have a hard time controlling head when picked up • Reach with only one hand while keeping the other in a fist • A child over ten months with cerebral palsy might: • Crawl by pushing off with one hand and leg while dragging the opposite hand and leg • Not sit by himself or herself • A child over twelve months with cerebral palsy might: • Not crawl • Not be able to stand with support • A child over two years of age with cerebral palsy might: • Not be able to walk • Not be able to push a toy with wheels Signs of Cerebral Palsy

  8. Genes • Fetal Stroke • Lack of Oxygen • Infant Infections • Meningitis or severe or untreated jaundice • Traumatic Head Injury • Accident, Fall, or even abuse • Infections during pregnancy • Rubella, Chicken Pox, Exposure to Toxins, Syphilis Causes of Cerebral Palsy

  9. Speech Delay • Struggle walking • Malnutrition • Depression • Social Isolation • Premature Aging Academic, Physical, Psychological, and Social Issues

  10. Developmental Delay Missouri Division of Special Education Compliance Standards & Indicators 2100-ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Young Child with a Developmental Delay Legal Requirement Indicator Documentation NOTE: Basis for legal requirements found in Missouri State Plan for Special Education, Section III; Federal Regulations 300.8, 300.306 This criteria is for children ages 3 through 5 (not kindergarten age eligible) who are experiencing developmental delays as measured in one of the 3 following ways (Indicators 2100.20, 2100.30, and 2100.40) NOTE: LEAs in Missouri are not required to adopt and use the term “Young Child with a Developmental Delay” for any children in their jurisdiction. However, if an LEA uses the term “Young Child with a Developmental Delay,” the LEA must conform to both the State’s definition of the term and the age range. 2100.10 Evaluation procedures include: The evaluation report documents: 2100.10.a. The results of formal instruments/assessment(s) provided in standardized, quantified form or equivalent levels. OR 2100.10.b. The results of informal assessment(s) provided in equivalent form. 2100.20 Identification based on multiple delays: A comprehensive evaluation report is present which documents performance at or below 1.5 standard deviations or equivalent levels of the mean in a combination of any two (2) or more of the following areas: 2100.20.a. Cognitive 2100.20.b. Adaptive 2100.20.c. Social/Emotional 2100.20.d. Communication in (one (1) or more) of following: 2100.20.d.(1) The child’s overall receptive and expressive communication must be at or below 1.5 standard deviations or equivalent levels of the mean 2100.20.d.(2) The child’s sound production is below the limits of normal developmental guidelines as established by accepted normative data, and sufficient data is present to document the existence of a sound system disorder due to multiple errors which compromise the child’s intelligibility and/or the listeners perceptions. Refer to Indicators 1600-1600.70 (Sound System Disorder) for additional information. 2100.20.d.(3) Voice- Refer to Indicators 1800.10 - 1800.40 2100.20.d.(4) Fluency- Refer to Indicators 1700.10 - 1700.50 DESE Requirements
