Dana D -> Athetoid CP (July 12, 2000 12:53:00 PM)

Does anyone have any input/experience with working with an extremely bright, very motivated child with athetoid CP? I am currently working with a child for the summer (at a summer camp program.. i worked with her last summer as well for 6 weeks). It is amazing to see the gains she has made over the year (she is 7). Motorically, her ability to manage her w/c (propel herself, brakes, etc.), transfer ability, sitting balance and static standing balance has improved tremendously. She is taking a few steps independently as well. Today was my first day seeing her, but I was wondering if anyone had any treatment ideas that would help with this particular type of child. Isn't it rare that a child with athetoid CP becomes an independent ambulator? any input would be appreciated. thanks
