Information On Cerebral Palsy Can Be Found In Several Places

 

Information on cerebral palsy is also offered by charitable organizations that are advocates for the rights of people with disabilities.  The United Cerebral Palsy association is the largest health charity in America and provides nationwide services to people with athetoid, ataxic or spastic CP or any kind of disability.  Despite the name, today about 65% of people served by UCP don’t have cerebal palsy.

 

Information on cerebral palsy can also be found in books.  The causes of cerebral palsey can be multiple and complex as can the severity of symptoms.  It depends on the individual.  An adult with mild cerebral palsy may lead a full and independent life, whereas a child with severe CP may be confined to a wheelchair and need 24 hour care.  Cerebal palsy is a chronic disorder but with the medical knowledge available today many people are able to enjoy their life to the full.
