Cerebral Palsy

A sound mind in a disobedient body - this is the agony of many people with Cerebral Palsy. Their movements are awkward and slow. Many of them have squint and drooping lips. They are stared at. Kids giggle or fear them. Quite often, they are dubbed as dimwits _ though their intelligence level maybe as good as yours or mine. Lack of understanding from society may cause considerable distress to the Cerebral Palsied and their families and make them prefer isolation.

This section attempts to explain what Cerebral Palsy (also referred to as spastic in India) is, and tips for coping with it. Early detection gives the child the best chance to manage the handicap. Professional Help is available and much can be achieved by a CP child.
