Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders that affect a person’s movement and posture. It’s caused by damage to the developing brain before, during, or shortly after birth. This damage disrupts the brain’s ability to control muscle movement and coordination, leading to varying degrees of difficulty with activities like walking, talking, and fine motor skills.

• Diagnosis: Early diagnosis is crucial for accessing appropriate treatment and support. Diagnosis involves a combination of medical history, physical examinations, and assessments by various specialists like neurologists, pediatricians, and therapists.
• Treatment: While there’s no cure for CP, treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. This typically involves a team approach with various forms of therapy like physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychological support. In some cases, medications or even surgery may be considered.

• Living with CP: With proper support and care, individuals with CP can lead fulfilling lives and achieve their full potential. Early intervention, ongoing therapy, and technological advancements significantly improve their abilities and independence.
