What is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disorder caused by damage to the developing brain, affecting muscle control, movement, posture, and balance. It can vary in severity and type, with symptoms ranging from mild coordination difficulties to significant physical impairment. While it does not worsen over time, the effects can impact everyday activities. Carrying an ICE card helps medical professionals recognise your diagnosis promptly and adjust their care accordingly.
