Hemi-Kids

Hemi-Kids is an email discussion group where parents of infants and children who have mild to moderate hemiplegia or hemiplegic cerebral palsy share information. In many ways, these children live a pretty typical life and often don’t quite fit into the world of children who have disabilities. Yet, they don’t quite fit into the typically developing world, either. The parents on Hemi-Kids understand the challenges of parenting a child with mild to moderate hemiplegia.
