82. Patrick And Cerebral Palsy Presents Patrick s personal story about life with cerebral palsy. http://www.angelfire.com/nh/patandcp/index.html

Patrick and Cerebral Palsy HI, My name is Patrick, you can call me Pat. I am 21 years old and I have Cerebral Palsy. Don't pity me or feel sorry for me, but do respect me. When I was born I weighed nine pounds, one ounce. I had the embiblical wrapped around my neck with two knots in it. The doctors say, that is the reason why I have Cerebral Palsy. When the oxygen is cut of to the brain it can cause damage to the brain. The part of my brain that was damaged, does not effect my thinking, but my functioning in the "normal" ways. No two people with Cerebral Palsy are the same just as no two "normal" people are the same. There are various causes for Cerebral Palsy and the effects are many. Regardless of the type and degree of the disability, the person with Cerebral Palsy wants and needs to be treated like any other person.   I have very little speech and cannot read or write too well. Walking is not to much of a problem for me, so I am lucky that way. When I need to communicate I use some sign language and a communication board. visit the sign language site I have linked. I think you will like it The computer is my best friend (besides my family). My favorite sites on line are GI Joe and other action figures. When I am off line, I play Twinsens' Odysey and love playing with my Petz (catz)

Living With CP W elcome Hi, my name is Kieron and I was born on the 20 th April 2000 and weighed just 1lb 5oz. I have Cerebral Palsy but, as you will see by looking at the various parts of the website this doesn’t stop me getting out and enjoying myself. I was at Redlands Primary and Nursery School in Worksop from 2004 to July 2009. I really enjoyed my time there and miss the friends I made. We decided as a family to move me to a specialist school in Mansfield called Fountaindale. I started there in September and every morning I’m picked up by a bus and along with three other children in wheelchairs we are transported the 18 miles to school. I’m really enjoying myself and have made lots of new friends; it’s lovely to be around other children in wheelchairs just like me. There are 7 other children in the class with me and we have a number of teaching assistants who help us and support our teacher. I was recently chosen to be a deputy school councillor which I am very excited about. Site designed by Graham Norton Over the next few months I’m off on day trips with my class we then stop at school over night. What an adventure! It will also give Mummy and Daddy a little bit of a breather. I’m also doing my first after school activity, which is dance and mask making. I then have tea at school and mummy picks me up at 7pm.

Read CP Blogs now ... About CP : What is Cerebral Palsy? CEREBRAL PALSY: BASIC FACTS Cerebral palsy (CP) is a permanent physical condition that affects movement. Its effect can be as mild as just a weakness in one hand ranging to almost complete lack of movement. There are three main types of cerebral palsy and each involves the way a person moves. Movements can be unpredictable, muscles can be stiff or tight and in some cases people can have shaky movements or tremors. People with cerebral palsy may have seizures and other impairments affecting their speech, vision, hearing and/or intellect. Cerebral palsy, except in its mildest forms, can be seen in the first 12-18 months of life. It presents when children fail to reach movement milestones. Babies most at risk of cerebral palsy are those born prematurely or with low birthweight. In Australia it is estimated that a child is born with cerebral palsy every 15 hours. Worldwide, the incidence is the same - 1 in 400 births. There is no known cure. For most, the cause is unknown.

91. Associated Conditions Of Cerebral Palsy Explores in detail the conditions associated with CP such as epilepsy, severe constipation, depression, and perception impairments. http://www.associatedconditionsofcerebralpalsy.com

An Online Resource On Cerebral Palsy This site is intended to provide information on the associated conditions of cerebral palsy. Overview Cerebral Palsy can be a frustrating condition because of the various ways in which it manifests itself. There are several forms of cerebral palsy, such as spastic, athetoid, ataxic, or a mixture of these. While it is a condition that affects movement, posture and coordination, there can be associated conditions which are more likely to occur in children who have cerebral palsy. It is important to note that while certain conditions occur more frequently in children with cerebral palsy, every child is different and will not necessarily have any of the following: Children with cerebral palsy may have difficulties with sleeping or toileting. Cerebral palsy can affect children’s speech and/or chewing and swallowing. Some children with cerebral palsy may develop epilepsy. Medication is often used to control this. Sometimes children with cerebral palsy have difficulty processing information about shapes, speed and space – this is often referred to as a visual or spatial perception difficulty. Some children with cerebral palsy may have learning difficulties or a specific learning difficulty – a particular difficulty with one particular kind of activity such as reading, drawing or mathematics.

Receives NIH Grant to Study Growth in Children with Cerebral Palsy Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System received more than half a million dollars from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support a study of growth in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Through the five-year, multi-center study, known as the North American Growth in Cerebral Palsy Project, researchers at U.Va.'s Kluge Children's Rehabilitation Center and at six other sites will measure the height and weight of hundreds of children with severe CP to understand more about their growth patterns. The NIH's National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research contributed $600,000 to the study. Abnormal growth is generally accepted as a marker that a child may be ill or malnourished, said Dr. Richard Stevenson, associate professor of pediatrics at U.Va. and lead investigator of the study. But children with CP don't grow the same as other children, and because normal growth patterns for children with CP have not been established, it's often difficult for physicians to determine which children with CP are healthy and which are suffering from malnutrition or another growth-impairing ailment. Our goal is to develop a growth chart for kids with CP.

Written by Administrator Monday, 17 December 2007 The International Cerebral Palsy Society (ICPS) is an international organisation, which has about 140 members in 49 countries. It was founded in Great Britain in 1969, where the headquarters still is. Among the members there are some 35 national disability (CP) and parent organisations and 15 institutions or other professional organisations dealing with CP. The rest of the members are individuals with an interest in cerebral palsy. Cerebral Palsy world wide Although great advances have been made in the social acceptance and development of services for people with CP and their families in many countries, others still lag behind, or have not yet even reached the starting post. Levels of understanding, development and capability vary enormously from country to country. There is no set pattern of development and the outcome is often unpredictable. But because ICPS has such a unique worldwide resource in the expertise of its membership, it can call upon them to advise and assist in almost any situation Meetings Cooperation The European organisation members of ICPS form a coalition called CP-ECA. It is an active member of EDF (European Disability forum). That means also that it works on the field of disability policy in Europe. It is very important to keep in discussion the ideas and needs of also those people, who have severe disabilities. Valerie Lang, a lady with CP from UK is a CP-ECA representative on the board of EDF.
