individual reaches adulthood. There are many different types of developmental disabilities. They include Intellectual Disability (ID), epilepsy, autism, and cerebral palsy, which is the disorder this paper will be focusing on (CA.Gov 2013). Cerebral Palsy is an impairment in the area of the brain that controls muscle tone and movement. Cerebral Palsy does not cause a child to intellectual disabilities, but is often associated with them. This condition has different levels of severity, and…

Cerebral Palsy and Cognition: How Cerebral Palsy Affects Education Cerebral palsy stems from an injury to the brain or abnormal development during the brain’s formation. “Experts believe that one to two of every 1,000 children born in the United States have cerebral palsy — a rate of occurrence that’s remained fairly stable for many years” according to (Gillette, para 11). People with cerebral palsy typically experience a combination of effects, partly because the direct results of their brain…

What is Cerebral Palsy? The dictionary definition is “A form of paralysis believed to be caused by a prenatal brain defect or by brain injury during birth, most marked in certain motor areas and characterized by difficulty in control of the voluntary muscles”. The easier way to understand that is Cerebral Palsy is a disorder hat is found in infants and young children, it is a neurological disorder that effects the muscles part of the brain. It is a lifelong disorder; however, this disorder is…

Abstract: There are no “typical” manifestations of symptoms when it comes to cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive motor disorder caused by congenital or acquired brain damage. It is difficult to say with any certainty what kind of struggles a child with CP will have. This is due to the great variability of how CP manifests. Cerebral palsy symptoms can range in severity and impact any number bodily processes and systems. The effect of CP on speech subsystems is no different, and…

Cerebral Palsy Sometimes we take our everyday actions for granted. People living with Cerebral Palsy don?t have this luxury. In fact, they are forced to carefully monitor their activities and limit themselves due to their inability to perform certain tasks. Cerebral Palsy is not one particular disease, it is actually a term used to cover a wide variety of disorders: Spastic, Dyskinetic, Atheoid, Atoxic and Mixed Presentation Cerebral Palsy. The most common of these is Spastic Cerebral Palsy. An…

The cause of Cerebral Palsy is a brain injury that occurs while the brain is developing before, during, or after birth. Although it is more often to occur before birth. A way to be able to prevent is vaccination. Although it may not work 100% it is able it may prevent rubella that could cause fetal brain damage. Symptoms may include variations in muscle tone, having slower reflexes, movement speed decrease, and difficult walking. While usually therapy may be a primarily option there is also drug…

Cerebral palsy is a new name for an ailment that has affected kids for millennia. Since cerebral palsy is triggered by brain impairment occurring before, during or after birth, it has most likely befallen throughout human evolution. Medical researchers are working hard to decide if stem cell transplants can help cure cerebral palsied kids. Cerebral palsy is a consequence of brain mutilation or condensation of oxygen in the brain before or during the birth. An individual affected with cerebral…

Cerebral palsy is a developmental condition that refers to a group of disorders rather than a single entity. It affects a persons’ musculature, including movement and postural abilities. This condition is due to cerebral damage while the brain is still in the developmental stage, thus occurring in utero, during or shortly after birth. Brain damage that results in cerebral palsy can occur in several ways and plays a role in the extent of the condition. Therefore, each case will be different…

time (4). This increase in muscle length might be a great importance to a person with spastic cerebral palsy in lessening the amount of tension placed on joint structures and allowing them to have a greater range of motion. However, the clinical applications of this evidence are still unclear. Wiart, Darrah, and Kembhavi, in their review of the research on stretching in children with cerebral palsy, find that there is no clear consensus about how the muscle contracts and how stretching can…
