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?

How will you take part this year? Advocacy moves us beyond awareness. It’s how we shape the future, tell our own stories, and push for inclusion, one conversation at a time.

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, let’s channel our energy into actions that matter.
