20 yearold with CP with constant screaming and violence

Our 20 year old non verbal/multiply disabled  son with CP, screams all day and all night and is very violent now as well. Does anyone have any answers??

Hi. It is possible that your son may be suffering from depression, frustration or illness that requires additional attention. The development of negative behavioral traits may further affect his ability to live fruitfully and independently. Some people with cerebral palsy benefit from behavioral therapy. Behavioral therapy utilizes psychological techniques to improve physical, mental and communicative skills. For further medical advice, consult your physician. Hope this helps.
