Hi,
cerebral palsy as a disease will not improve 100%. even with intensive physiotherapy .You can expect some improvement with growth and with treatment. Try to make the child self sufficient in his daily activities.sorry to mention that you have to accept some degree of disability finally.
good luck and god bless
