I am so sorry about your grandson, and it is wonderful that you are helping him to find resources.
The doctor your grandson needs to start with is most likely a Physiatrist. Here is the website: http://www.aapmr.org/condtreat/what.htm.
There are seven doctors listed in Fresno:

Please let us know if you have any additional questions!
