unfortunately there are a lot of birth
0:06
related injuries that are common in the
0:07
State of Florida uh the one that is the
0:10
most traumatic is cerebral paly and
0:12
that’s often times caused by lack of
0:15
oxygen to the baby or through the mother
0:18
during the delivery or due to trauma um
0:21
that often results in um spasticity
0:24
muscle tone problems um brain effects
0:28
cognitive issues in addition to cerebral
0:31
paly there’s also other injuries such as
0:33
brachial plexus where the shoulder might
0:35
get caught during delivery spinal cord
0:38
injuries um broken collar bones
0:41
unfortunately these are injuries that we
0:42
see often times with um births in our
0:46
clients and one of the things that we
0:48
like to do is have the parents come to
0:50
us as quickly as possible for those
0:52
confidential consultations that way we
0:55
can help them get answers some peace of
0:57
mind as well as hopefully some resources
1:00
to help deal with the child’s
1:01
limitations
