I have a 5 yo with ataxic cp. I visitted the site listed above...I have never had anyone recommend botox or the cooling for her tremors. I will have to ask the neurologist about this in November when we visit next.

There are ways to help relieve CP. Many of them are related to dislocated and / or pinched nerves in the back area. Some of those nerves would have to be resetted. If facial palsy, there are some techniques to help relieve this too.
It takes a special therapist to help out. You should try some and there are soem out there who can help.
Good Luck
