    Teaching Strategies

    Depending on which areas


    of the brain are damaged,
    CP can cause one or more of
    the following:
    Muscle tightness or
    spasms
    Involuntary movement
    Difficulty with gross
    motor skills such as
    walking or running
    Difficulty with fine

    motor skills such as


    writing or doing up
    buttons
    Difficulty with

    perception and
    sensation
    Individuals with CP may
    have:
    Cognitive
    Speech and language
    disorders
    Visual and hearing
    impairments
    Learning disabilities.

    Realize that although a


    CP student may never
    become fully able to
    conventionally perform
    a skill, it is still valuable
    for them to learn it (eg.
    basketball for students
    in a wheelchair).
