This is an Early Support information resource on cerebral palsy and provides general information, guidance and sign-posting for parent carers of children and young people diagnosed with cerebral palsy, or who are in the process of getting a diagnosis.
It has been developed in response to requests from families, professional agencies and voluntary organisations for better and more useful information to enable you to provide a stable and supportive environment for your child.
This publication includes real life perspectives sharing everyday experiences on what is was like in the beginning, the early years, general information, education and growing up. It also gives some top tips, explains who can help and signposts some useful resources, organisations and websites.
The content is not intended to provide in-depth information about the condition, treatments, therapies and practical management of the condition, although more detail is provided for certain key areas.
