Grandson was recently diagnosed with CP, he is2 years old and we knew something was not quite right but it has taken over 1 year before we were taken seriously regarding problems he was having. He is such a happy boy but now having sleep problems, where he wakes up 2 or more times crying. Any advice would be appreciated, his occ therapist and physiotherapist are very good and finally he has support

Hi @DeniDeni
Welcome to the community
We have quite a lot of information about CP as well as information and support for a newly diagnosed child here.
You can read up on sleep tips for disabled children here and we have Sleep Solutions practitioners around the UK, you can search your nearest support here.
I hope this helps!!Scope
