What is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral palsy is a physical disability affecting movement.
An Australian child is born with cerebral palsy every 15 hours. It is the most common physical disability in childhood.
Cerebral palsy is caused by an injury to the developing brain, which usually occurs before birth.
It is a lifelong condition, but its impact varies from person to person. It can be very mild - e.g. a weakness in one hand - or more severe, where a person has almost no voluntary movement.
There is no known cure and, for most people with cerebral palsy, the cause is not fully understood.
