๐๐ฉท WORLD CEREBRAL PALSY DAY โ 6 OCTOBER 2026 ๐ฉท๐
Today, M.I.D Support proudly recognises World Cerebral Palsy Day โ a day to celebrate people living with cerebral palsy, amplify their voices, and promote a world where everyone has the opportunity to participate, belong and thrive.
๐ This yearโs message, , reminds us that every personโs experience with cerebral palsy is unique, while together we can create stronger, more inclusive communities.
Cerebral palsy can affect movement, posture and muscle control, and for some people it can also affect communication, learning, perception and everyday activities. No two people with cerebral palsy are the same. Each person has their own strengths, goals, interests and support needs.
At M.I.D Support, we believe inclusion means more than simply being present. It means having choice, control, accessibility, opportunity and a genuine voice in the decisions that affect your life.
๐ฉท Today we encourage our community to:
* Listen to and learn from people with cerebral palsy.
* Focus on strengths and abilities, not assumptions.
* Challenge stereotypes and remove barriers to participation.
* Advocate for accessible education, employment, healthcare, technology and communities.
* Include people with cerebral palsy in decisions that affect them.
* Celebrate achievements, individuality and independence.
Every person deserves the same rights, the same opportunities and the chance to live the life they choose.
