Cerebral Palsy also known as CP is a broad term it is formed from cerebral meaning the brain and palsy meaning a physical disorder and lack of muscle control. I know quite few people who have CP. Cerebral Palsy is mainly cause from problems with the brains ability to adequately control the body. Symptoms for CP usually appear within the first few years of life. There are three main types of CP: Spastic cerebral palsy, Athetoid cerebral palsy, Ataxic cerebral palsy. When having cerebral palsy you may or may not be able to use your legs. If you can you may need braces and other instruments to help walk. If you cannot use the legs the doctors will usually place the child with CP in a wheelchair. Children with CP are just like me and you. They love to do things and I’m pretty sure they don’t like being treated any differently. They just want friend who see them for who they really are not for what they can or cannot do.
