AboutA community for all of us who have Cerebral Palsy in the UK or anywhere else if you wish or have someone we love with CP.
This should be a place to talk about CP issues, or just to talk about anything with other people who understand this aspect of your life.
Also for anyone who has any questions about the condition can ask the members things so that everyone can understand what it's all about.
The words Cerebral Palsy are used to describe a medical condition that affects control of the muscles. Cerebral means anything in the head and palsy refers to anything wrong with control of the muscles or joints in the body. If someone has cerebral palsy it means that because of an injury to their brain (that's the cerebral part) they are not able to use some of the muscles in their body in the normal way (that's the palsy part). Children who have cerebral palsy, or CP, may not be able to walk, talk, eat or play in the same ways as most other kids.
It is important to know that CP is not a disease or illness. It isn't contagious and it doesn't get worse, but it is not something you "grow out of." Children who have CP will have it all their lives.
