What is cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy - also referred to as CP - is a group of disabling conditions characterized by nerve and muscle dysfunction. Symptoms can vary widely, depending on the severity and location of brain damage and may include the inability to control body movements, difficulty with speech and language, feeding problems, learning disabilities, mental retardation, and seizures. Cerebral palsy is not hereditary, contagious, progressive, or a primary cause of death.
