Susan,
Maybe I can help. I'm also a parent and learn a lot
here from this group. There three other email groups
that  I belong to that might interest you as well.
The first is  CP Parent for parents of kids with CP.
Your questions will receive answers there from those
who are familiar with the CP pediatric
specialists/issues. The second group is Our-Kids for
parents of kids with any type of disability and the
third is for Preemie_child which deals with preemies
and their issues after the age of 4 and as they start
facing school issues.

To answer your questions to the best of my ability. My
son who has mod spastic quad CP is treated by a
physiatrist( a doc who specials in muscular/neuro
movement disorders and can be found in the Physical
medicine and rehab dept of a large hospital)If the
right side seems shorter she may have a contracture
which needs to be address. Is she going through a
growth spurt?
