Cerebral palsy (CP) is the name given to describe a group of neurological conditions that affect a child's ability to co-ordinate movement, and can have an effect on cognitive development.
Children that have cerebral palsy will find muscle control and movement difficult to control as they develop.
It occurs as the result of either injury to the brain or abnormalities of the brain, which happen either before, during or quickly after birth.
Typically the damage to the brain associated with cerebral palsy occurs during the baby's development in the womb, however, it is also possible for it to occur later, up until the age of three when the brain is developing
