Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy describes a group of conditions that affect movement and coordination. It happens when the parts of the brain that control muscles develop differently or are injured before, during or shortly after birth.

There are many possible causes including premature birth, infections or difficult delivery. Sometimes the cause is unknown.

Children with cerebral palsy may also have epilepsy or differences in hearing or vision.

Some children:

  • Take longer to reach milestones such as crawling, walking or talking
  • Need support with movement and coordination
  • Attend mainstream or specialist educational settings

Speech and language therapists support communication, build confidence and help children access learning.
