Part 6: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Positive Reinforcement in Cerebral Palsy Treatment
In this episode, Dr. Aayushi Choudhary from Purple Heron Hospital discusses the vital role of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in the long-term rehabilitation of children with Cerebral Palsy.
Treatment for cerebral palsy often extends over months or even years, which can limit a child’s access to a typical home or school-like environment. They may miss out on play, peer interaction, and daily routines that are essential for emotional development.
To support their mental and emotional recovery, we implement Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — helping children cope with the challenges of long-term therapy while fostering resilience and self-belief.
🧠 CBT focuses on:
Rebuilding the child’s confidence
Reducing anxiety or withdrawal due to isolation
Encouraging emotional expression and goal-setting
🎯 Along with CBT, we introduce Positive Reinforcement Activities — celebrating small achievements and motivating children to actively engage in their recovery. These playful, structured sessions boost enthusiasm and a sense of purpose.
👨👩👧👦 Parents are also guided to continue these reinforcement techniques at home, creating a nurturing and supportive environment 24/7.
At Purple Heron, we approach every Cerebral Palsy case with a multi-systemic plan, addressing not only the physical but also the emotional, psychological, and social needs of the child.
✅ Improves emotional well-being and motivation
✅ Reduces behavioral issues due to prolonged treatment
✅ Builds a stronger support system with active parental involvement
