My child was diagnosed with a birth injury called Cerebral Palsy. What is and what causes Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral palsy is a condition involving a group of disorders that affects the child’s ability to control his or her own movement. Cerebral palsy results from injury to the cerebrum (the largest portion of the brain, involved with higher mental faculties, sensations, and voluntary muscle activities). It can be caused by injury to the brain before, during, or after birth.
