What is Cerebral Palsy?

 Cerebral Palsy is a condition that affects the arms and legs. 

It affects how people sit, walk, stand, move etc

Some people may not be able to do one, some of those or neither. 

It normally affects the brain.

It mostly happens during or any time after birth. 

If they are unwell, they may not have enough oxygen going round the brain. 

Everyone who faces the condition may face it difficulty. 

Some people may have epilepsy, others may find it hard to talk. 

Cerebral Palsy itself is not a learning disability but

 some people may have a learning disability with it. 

When a child is born, doctors normally find out

 whether or not they have Cerebral Palsy.

Physiotherapy may be helpful for people with Cerebral Palsy. Home | Cerebral Palsy Research Network
