Cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy is a physical impairment that affects movement and co-ordination.

It is caused by brain damage before or during birth or when the child is very young.

It ranges in severity from one person to another. Some children might experience movement problems that are barely noticeable. Others might have very severe problems that can include learning disabilities.
