Default After poliomyelitis - 05-07-2013, 12:58 AM

This little 8 year old girl in Honduras suffered from Poliomyelitis (I am not sure when) but I know now she cannot speak and she cannot walk.

Can she learn how to walk now after polio? She lives in poverty and cannot get proper physical therapy but is there anything that can be done? Also, can she not speak from the polio or is that from a separate issue? And again, if this was caused by the polio, can she learn how to speak? Or communicate (maybe through sign language)?

I really want to improve her life and I'm going to do the best I can to do so.
Thanks for your help!
