Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, muscle tone, and coordination. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, often before birth, leading to lifelong challenges in motor function. Symptoms can vary widely, ranging from mild to severe, and may include difficulties with walking, speaking, and fine motor skills. While there is no cure for cerebral palsy, treatments like physical therapy, medications, and sometimes surgery can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Early intervention is crucial in helping children with CP reach their full potential.
