greetings,
congential cerebral atrophy has varied symptoms.no one can predict the future,though you should always concentrate on the present because if it is good than likely hood of the future to be good also increases.
so i would say that its better that more stimulation through activity is given to the child.
that should help her.
hope this has helped.
thanks and regards.
