About Cerebral Palsy:
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term used to describe a group of conditions affecting body movement and muscle coordination. It is not a disease. CP can be as mild as just a weakness in one hand ranging to an almost complete lack of movement. There are 17 million people around the world with cerebral palsy. About 1 child in 300 births will have cerebral palsy. The condition can be managed, and people with cerebral palsy can go to school, have jobs, raise families and live in their own homes. Most of all, people with cerebral palsy need the opportunity for independence and full inclusion in our society.
