About cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy is the most common lifelong physical disability, affecting a person's ability to walk, move, or communicate. It is caused by an injury to the developing brain, but every individual’s experience with cerebral palsy is unique. Some people require lifelong support, while others live independently. Every story is different, but our community stands together—unique and united. Want to learn more?

World Cerebral Palsy Day brings together the global CP community on 6th October to raise awareness and celebrate. #UniqueAndUnited #WorldCPDay

MYTH 🚫: CP only happens at birth.
FACT ✅: Cerebral palsy can occur during pregnancy, around birth, or in the first two years of life.

What matters most? Early identification and intervention - so children with CP can get the support they need as soon as possible.

Tell us about the change you want to see in early diagnosis or healthcare in your community. Use #UniqueANDUnited to join the conversation.

Advocacy isn’t about speaking for everyone. It’s about sharing your own truth and using your voice to connect and inspire.

This World CP Day, we’re celebrating what makes each of us different, and the power we have when we come together.MYTH 🚫: Cerebral palsy is the same for everyone.
FACT ✅: Cerebral palsy affects people in many different ways. It can vary in type and in the support each person needs.

No two people with CP are the same, and that’s why inclusion must be flexible, accessible, and shaped by the people it’s for.

This World CP Day, we’re celebrating those differences and showing the strength of our unity. 💚
