Information on Cerebal Palsy: 

Cerebral palsy is a developmental disorder and leading cause of disability in young children. Approximately 8,000 babies and between 1,200 and 1,500 preschool-age children are diagnosed each year.

Cerebral palsy occurs as a result of a brain injury sustained during fetal development or birth. However, because the symptoms of CP affect a child’s coordination and independent movement, the injury is not always diagnosed right away, especially when the symptoms are mild.

Parents usually notice that something is wrong when a child fails to reach developmental milestones such as

  • rolling over
  • crawling
  • walking
