Can you tell me more about Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral Palsy is a neuromuscular disability resulting from damage to the central nervous system. This damage can occur at any time, but usually takes place before, during, or shortly after birth. The primary effect of cerebral palsy is an inability to control motor function, particularly muscle control and coordination. These effects can range from mild to more severe. While cerebral palsy is not "curable", various treatments, services and supports can help children and adults with cerebral palsy achieve their maximum potential for participation in home, school, work and community activities.
