Associated Conditions of Cerebral Palsy: Talking Difficulties
Talking Difficulties
For children to communicate regularly and without difficulty, they must be able to take in complex auditory information, and the brain has to be able to decode that information fairly quickly.  The child must then be able to think of the words to say and have sufficient control over the muscles of the mouth and throat to say them. The ability to hold a conversation is taken for granted by most people who do not have to struggle with these difficulties.

Many children with cerebral palsy suffer from related conditions that can make one or more of the tasks involved with communication more difficult.  Hearing damage is an obvious cause of communication problems.  It can take tremendous effort for the child to compensate by using hearing aids or by learning to read lips.
