The medical world is still learning about the causes and risk factors of cerebral palsy. Congenital Cerebral Palsy is
related to abnormal development of the brain or damage that that was done to the brain before or during birth. This
accounts for 85 to 90 percent of cerebral palsy cases. Cerebral palsy affects a person’s motor movement, and the
seriousness can range from simply walking awkwardly to needing a wheelchair and lifelong care. However severe your
child’s condition, you deserve a full recovery to help make you and your child whole again.
