Cerebral Palsy

• Cerebral Palsy

CP is the most common cause of childhood disability. It's caused by damage to the brain that occurs during development, usually within the first five years of life. The type and severity of symptoms depends on which part of the brain is affected. There are three main types of CP: spastic, dyskinesia, and mixed.
