What is the condition called "Cerebral Palsy"?
It is caused by damage to or dysfunction of the central nervous system or the brain. Persons with CP exhibit impaired muscle activity functions or muscle control. Currently, there is no known cure. However, with kindness, support, love and hard work these people can live a fulfilled and productive life for many years. Others cannot "catch" the condition from those diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
