Cerebral Palsy is a ๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง This means that the original brain injury or abnormal brain development does not worsen over time. However, a personโs physical symptoms, muscle stiffness, movement, and joint mobility may change as they grow and age.
Cerebral Palsy might shape how someone moves, but it doesn't limit how they dream. Join us in spreading awareness, support, inclusion, and understanding for individuals living with Cerebral Palsy.
