My son was diagnosed with spastic diplegia as a toddler. Spastic diplegia is a form of cerebral palsy that primarily affects the legs, causing muscle stiffness and difficulty with movement and coordination.

This site is a collection of things I have learned as his parent — the approaches that worked, the ones that did not, and the thinking behind each. Most of it is about walking, because that has been our primary focus, but I expect to write about other areas over time.

I share this because when we started this journey, I spent a lot of time searching for specific, practical accounts from other parents. There is good clinical information out there, but not enough of the ground-level stuff — what does a session actually look like, what do you do when your child refuses, how do you keep going when progress stalls.

These posts are my attempt to fill some of that gap.
