The following are some common early signs, though the presence of a listed symptom does not definitively mean that a child has spastic CP:Prior to 6 months

Legs crossing when a child is picked up, also called scissoring 
Stiffness
Head "lagging" when the child is picked up6–10 months

Fisting one hand
Difficulty rolling
Difficulty bringing hands togetherOlder than 12 months of age

Difficulty crawling
Difficulty standing even with support
Walking with an unsteady, uneven, or stiff gaitSpastic CP is distinguished from other forms of cerebral palsy by its prominent symptom of spasticity or stiff, tight movements and gait patterns such as the scissor gait. However, spasticity as a symptom is also seen in other conditions such as stroke and multiple sclerosis. Thus, the presence of spasticity alone does not warrant a conclusive diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy. Changes in spasticity and corresponding postures may also occur with other brain activity, such as excitement, fear or anxiety, or even pain, which increase muscle tension.A person with spastic CP will commonly show, in addition to higher muscle tone, persistent primitive reflexes, greater stretch reflexes, plantar reflex, and ankle clonus.A third of people with cerebral palsy have seizures - this is most common in spastic CP. Audiovisual, cognitive compromise and behavioral disorders can occur. Cause
Spastic cerebral palsy is caused by malformation of or damage to the parts of the brain that control movement.
Speech therapy- Therapy to help someone speak more clearly, swallow more safely, or use a communication device such as a DynaVox
Medication- Certain medications can reduce stiffness from overactive muscles and decrease pain. Examples are botulinum toxin or baclofen, with the latter delivered orally or via an intrathecal pump. Surgery- In some cases, orthopedic and/or neurological surgeries are recommended when pain and stiffness interfere with participation in meaningful activities and other treatments are not effective. Prognosis
Every case of spastic cerebral palsy is different. Some people with this type of CP can accomplish activities of daily living independently, while some need the assistance of a personal care aide for certain tasks, and others need 24-hour support. About 1/3 of people with cerebral palsy cannot walk, about 1/2 have intellectual disabilities, and 3/4 experience some level of chronic pain. There is limited research on adults with spastic CP. The brain injury causing CP does not progress or change, but the functional impact and thus, ones needs may change with age.Some issues specific to adults with spastic and other forms of cerebral palsy are:

Premature aging
Fatigue
Pain
Arthritis
Depression and anxiety
Post impairment syndromeRegardless of their particular expression of spastic cerebral palsy, affected individuals can lead fulfilling lives. Improved physical accessibility in society and increased social acceptance can increase community participation. Workforce participation of people with CP has almost doubled in the last four decades. Social inclusion and the presence or absence of policy to address discrimination, in addition to medical intervention, influences the outlook for people living with spastic cerebral palsy.
