Cerebral Palsy | ||||||||||||||
Cerebral Palsy is not a disease. It is caused by lack of oxygen before, during, or within the first year of birth. The brain cells don't get enough oxygen. CP affects people differently. Some people get it worse than others. They could be wheelchair bound, can't move a muscle, speech problem, movement of the body. You may have a hard time understanding him/her, or may not be able to talk at all. These are different ways CP can affect you. About me I have CP, I use a walker, crutches and a wheelchair for long distance. I do a lot on my own but every now and then I will need help from other people. For example: Open heavy doors, carry things, reaching things etc... things like that I go out and have some fun, I get around in the community on city buses. I go shopping, go to art classes and do whatever I want... I'm proud of how far I have come. |
