What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that affects muscles movement in the body. The section of the brain that is responsible for movement does not properly send and receive signals in CP patients.  Therefore, people with cerebral palsy can have difficulty walking or moving various parts of the body, as well slower motor skills.  Every case is different, with all levels of severity.  CP can be diagnosed at birth or in early childhood.
