6 Facts Everyone should know about Cerebral Palsy
By Scott Tamarkin
The term “cerebral palsy” (CP) is a blanket term that refers to any occurrence of loss or impairment of motor function. Cerebral palsy affects muscle tone, movement, fine and gross motor skills, reflex, posture and balance. It can also affect vision, hearing and speech problems, as well as learning disabilities.
It “is usually caused by brain damage that occurs before or during a child’s birth, or during the first 3 to 5 years of a child’s life” (Kidshealth.org) and it is one of the most common congenital disorders of childhood. It is estimated that 500,000 American children under the age of 18 have cerebral palsy.
Cerebral Palsy does not define a person
- “People with cerebral palsy are exactly that. People. Just like everybody else. They love, laugh, cry and live. Just like everybody else. My four year old daughter is not defined by her CP. We are bringing her up so that SHE will define IT.” – Ellen on Facebook
- “CP is a part of [my daughter] but she is and will not ever be defined by it.” – Cheryl on Facebook
- “CP is a condition that needs attention but it’s not the person. If people could just spend some time to get to know him their lives would be enriched, as ours have been.” – Robyn on Facebook
- “My son lives with CP, but it does not define him.” – Mrboosmum on the blog
Cerebral Palsy is not an illness
- “People do not ‘suffer with CP’ as the Daily Mail would put it. It is not an illness.” – Catherine on Facebook
- “It’s not a disease and you can’t catch it!” – Kerryanne on Facebook
- “They should know that you can’t catch CP and that people with CP do – contrary to popular belief – have pride in their appearances.” – Rachel on Facebook
- “You can’t catch cerebral palsy, you can talk to me x” – Lesley on Facebook
Talk to a person with Cerebral Palsy the same as you would to anyone else
- “Just because the body might not work, don’t think that the brain don’t work either!” – Suzanne on Facebook
- “People should respect you, it’s not our fault we have it.” – Deborah on Facebook
- “Just because someone has CP, it doesn’t mean they are deaf or don’t understand what you say. Speak directly to someone, not about them, and not to their carer as if they aren’t present.” – Nadine on the blog....
