- I am so excited for you to meet Kelly Blackmon. She is a Speech therapist with Level 2 Cerebral Palsy (CP) on the Gross Motor Function Classification System. She has mild/moderate quadriplegia, with more physical involvement in her legs than her arms. She can walk independently but uses a power wheelchair for longer distances. She needs to use a railing to walk up and down stairs. She has a daughter who joins us on these videos. She lives with her daughter and is engaged. I was one of her physical therapists after she received the selective dorsal rhizotomy. She received physical and occupational therapy as a child, but never speech and language therapy. This interview is broken up into 10-15 minute segments.
Watch her playlist for future segments.

Thank you so much for sharing this! My son is almost 3 years old and is also GMFCS Level 2. He uses a little posterior walker to get around or crawls right now. I know there is no “crystal ball” but this is so encouraging. Kelly, you’re such a phenomenal lady!
Ohhhh! This makes me so happy.
Wow really inspiring. Looking forward to this series. Many thanks.
You are so welcome. I’m excited too!
Love seeing this one pop up on my feed.

Never had any surgeries at all or meds was main stream in school I have level 1 mild spastic cerebral palsy I was able to walk at 20 months old without crutches or a a walker I was a home birth my birth weight 7 pounds 9 ozs iwas diagnosed at 6 weeks old sat at 9 months old crawled at At about 1 yr old
Fantastic. You did so well!
Dear amy very informative interviews ,Miss kelly like told us that she started to walk when she was 3 year old and after that she got surgery and she started using electric device to move long distance soo my question is that in your career have you seen people who have cp and started walking at 3 year old like miss kelly but didnt need any surgery and didnt need any electric device to move long distance and just started walking perfectly fine without any hurdel OR every one who walk at 3 year suffer all these problems faced by miss kelly....?
thank you...
Everyone is different. There are not that many people I know that I have gotten to follow up on as they have gotten older. I believe the research indicates that people with level 2 or greater tend to lose some skills as they get older. Exactly how much would differ from person to person
@Pediatric Physical Therapy Exercises thank you for your reply dear amy.....if we see myla thw beautiful girl who had extra chromosome,she started walking at 2 year and 9 month old i saw her videos and now she can walk run pretty much do everything i mean she didnt start walking bafore 2 year old sooo it means if a child can walk after 2 year like myla did he or she can walk without hurdle there are chnaces?

東方內向不好意思自拍媒正和西方面對問題找出良方來解決問題！？
誰方法比較起來實際有用呢！見人見智咩！解決的方式也就因此不同啦🤔
我喜歡見人，見智慧
