Abstract

Introduction: Cerebral palsies are a group of non-progressive alterations of movement and posture that limit motor activity, due to a brain lesion that occurred during the brain development of the fetus or young child. Is the most frequent cause of motor disability in pediatrics. Children with these diseases are affected by medical conditions that impair the biological basis for their language development.


Objective: Describe the maxillofacial and swallowing disorders that make speech difficult in children with cerebral palsy.


Methods: A search was performed in the PubMed, Cumed, SeCiMed and other databases. The current knowledge about cerebral palsy in children was analyzed, for the search terms such as: cognitive and motor development of children, stomatognathic system, among others, were used.


Conclusions: It is important to carry out intensive and specialized rehabilitation treatment in motor learning for patients with cerebral palsy, with emphasis on muscle re-education and brain plasticity.
