Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder that affects movement and posture and is caused by damage to the brain before, during or after birth. It is the most common physical disability in childhood, affecting an estimated 2 out of 1,000 children. Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy can range from mild difficulty in coordination to severe impairments in movement, speech, and other functions. Treatment may include physical therapy, assistive devices, medications, and surgery. Early diagnosis and intervention are important for improving motor and functional outcomes and providing better quality of life for people with CP.
