World Cerebral Palsy Day 2020
Last night I invited a few AMAZING CP Warriors & Advocates to the show.Some Facts About CP :
- There are 17 million people across the world living with cerebral palsy (CP).
- Another 350 million people are closely connected to a child or adult with CP.
- It is the most common physical disability in childhood.
- CP is a permanent disability that affects movement. Its impact can range from a weakness in one hand, to almost a complete lack of voluntary movement.
- It is a complex disability:
1 in 4 children with CP cannot talk
1 in 4 cannot walk
1 in 2 have an intellectual disability
1 in 4 have epilepsy.
CP is a lifelong disability and there is no known cure.
