Change Inspiration: In education
At university, and other places of learning, people living with cerebral palsy bring unique ideas, perspectives, talents and goals.
Their potential should never be limited by inaccessible classrooms, technology or assumptions about what they can achieve.
The change we want to see: accessible learning, timely adjustments and equal opportunities to participate in every part of student life.
What’s one change you want to see for people with cerebral palsy?
Share it using #UniqueAndUnited.
Tag the official public account of a local leader, business or community organisation who could help make it happen.
You can also tag @worldcpday to join the global conversation.

This World Cerebral Palsy Day on 6 Oct, people with cerebral palsy are naming the change they want to see.
Our change is clear: formal United Nations recognition of 6 October as World Cerebral Palsy Day.
Recognition is more than a date on the calendar.
Formal UN recognition could help keep cerebral palsy on the global agenda every year, building greater support for research, services, inclusion and opportunity.
Help us make this happen by showing your support via the link in our bio!
Your change could be big or small. It could be about your workplace, community, education, sport, technology, representation or everyday life. Think about a barrier you’d like to see removed, an opportunity you’d like created or an attitude you’d like changed. Choose a change that matters to you.

Katy is sharing the change she wants to see for people with cerebral palsy — more care and curiosity in our everyday lives.
For Katy, that means checking in on friends, asking more thoughtful questions and taking the time to better understand the experiences of people with cerebral palsy.
It also means healthcare workers approaching every interaction with curiosity, and local leaders and policymakers listening to and learning from the people in their communities.
Because there are 50 million people with cerebral palsy around the world, and 50 million different experiences, priorities and ideas about what needs to change.
What change do you want to see?

Change Inspiration: In Culture
Culture is shaped by the people who create it, experience it and share it.
People living with cerebral palsy are artists, performers, writers, musicians, storytellers and audiences, each with a unique voice and perspective
