What is cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy is a group of lifelong neurological disorders that affect a person’s movement, coordination, and balance.

The symptoms of cerebral palsy vary from person to person and can include:
- Muscle stiffness
- Uncontrolled movements
- Poor coordination
- Problems with balance
