CEREBRAL PALSY
Cerebral Palsy is a term applied to a group of individuals whose primary handicap is physical, as opposed to mental. These children, as a group,
exhibit problems which affect their ability to gain mobility (crawling, creeping, walking), to use their hands (eating, writing, dressing), and to
verbalize or talk. This large group is subdivided into lesser groups based primarily upon the specific way in which their muscles, or the control
of their muscle function, is abnormal. Within each group the level of severity varies, as well as the areas of the body which are affected. There is
also a great deal of overlap. That is, within one child you may see many types of cerebral palsy, or the child may exhibit different forms at various times during development.
Except in very severe cases where an obvious injury has occurred (generally around the time of birth) a child may not be diagnosed until six to
twenty-four months following birth, as it may be this long before the symptoms become obvious.
Cerebral palsy may develop as the result of an injury to the central nervous system before, during, or after birth
