Hi there,
I am an occupational therapist doing an inservice next week for school staff
(teachers and assistants) on working with children with Cerebral Palsy.  One
of the discussion points will be myths or misconceptions about children with
Cerebral Palsy.  I have heard of a few from co-workers that school staff
have had about children with CP (ie. they can't go outside because the cold
air will make them more 'spastic').

I was wondering if you have ever experienced difficulties with school staff
having misconceptions about your child (ren) with Cerebral Palsy?  Could you
share?  I would love some more ideas to go with for the inservice, without
having to pull teeth to get them to admit what they believe or think about
the children I work with.

Thanks for any and all information shared!
DEb
