What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral Palsy is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, muscle coordination, and balance. It is caused by damage to the brain frequently from a lack of oxygen or blood supply, often occurring before or during birth. The severity of symptoms can vary, ranging from mild to severe, and can impact motor skills, communication, and daily living activities.

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy

Identifying cerebral palsy early is crucial for implementing effective interventions. Symptoms of cerebral palsy can vary greatly among individuals but often include:

  • Difficulty with movement and coordination
  • Stiff or weak muscles
  • Trouble swallowing or speaking
  • Seizures
  • Intellectual disabilities
  • Vision or hearing problems

Early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve a child's quality of life.
