Trinidad Cerebral Palsy - Treatments

I was reading online that Cerebral Palsy is the second most expensive disability after mental disabilities
with an average lifetime cost per person of USD$921,000! (in the USA)

I was wondering, how is it in Trinidad? Does your child able to get the proper medical attention he/she needs through a public hospital? What kind of treatments do they offer?
