Check out this group's What Is It Like To Have Cerebral Palsy guide, where people with this experience share their tips and hints.

Here are a few tips...
  • Is to have to prove everyday you can do things other people think you can't.
  • It like havent to work 5 times harder than the average person to get your brain and body to work together.
  • I get kind of annoyed when folks treat CP as a 'life style' and only mix with other CP folks. Personally, I can't think anything more limiting. You don't have to wear your disability as a badge or act 'professionally disabled'. Be you first - CP second!
