Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy is a type of neurological disorder that affects normal movement, posture, and muscle coordination and is caused by brain damage which occurs before or during, or even shortly after birth. 

The severity of CP varies; some individuals have mild motor impairments, while others face significant challenges in walking, speaking, or performing daily activities.
