💗 What is Cerebral Palsy and What Are the Different Types? 💗

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a lifelong neurological condition that affects movement, muscle control, balance, posture, and coordination. It is caused by damage to, or abnormal development of, the developing brain before birth, during birth, or shortly after birth.

Every person with Cerebral Palsy is unique. Some people may have mild symptoms, while others may require more support in their daily lives. Although CP is a lifelong condition, it is not progressive, meaning the brain injury itself does not get worse over time.

There are four main types of Cerebral Palsy:

💗 Spastic Cerebral Palsy – The most common type. It causes stiff or tight muscles and can affect movement and posture.

💗 Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy – Causes involuntary movements that may be slow, twisting, or sudden and jerky.

💗 Ataxic Cerebral Palsy – Affects balance, coordination, and depth perception, making precise movements more difficult.

💗 Mixed Cerebral Palsy – A combination of two or more types of CP, with symptoms varying from person to person.

People with Cerebral Palsy can achieve amazing things with the right support, opportunities, understanding, and inclusion. Raising awareness helps break down barriers, challenge misconceptions, and create a more accessible world for everyone.

Let’s celebrate the strength, resilience, and individuality of people living with Cerebral Palsy. Together, we can promote acceptance, inclusion, and equal opportunities for all.

One of the most common misconceptions about Cerebral Palsy is that people can “catch” it from someone else. Cerebral Palsy is a neurological condition that affects movement, balance, and coordination. It is not an illness, disease, or infection, and it cannot be passed from person to person.

Awareness starts with education. By learning the facts, we can help break down stereotypes, reduce stigma, and create a more inclusive world for people living with Cerebral Palsy.

Please help spread awareness by sharing this post. 💚

My name is Amrita, I have Cerebral Palsy and I'm open to getting support to support it and get help. It's sad to know that people don't get the support they need and then get told off for playing the disabled card when they are struggling. This is a support page for people with CP whether it's mild or severe (I have mild Ataxic CP). Thank you for reading and/or following along.

“The disability is not the problem. The accessibility is the problem.” 💗

Cerebral Palsy awareness is about inclusion, understanding, equality, and creating a world where everyone has the same opportunities. Accessibility matters in schools, workplaces, transport, healthcare, and everyday life. Small changes can make a huge difference. Together, we can break barriers, challenge stigma, spread kindness, and build more supportive communities for people living with disabilities every single day everywhere.
