Cerebral palsy is the name for a group of disorders that affect someone’s movement and posture.
CP is caused by a problem with the brain. Usually, it is not noticeable until a child is 2-3 years old.
Symptoms may include:

The effects of cerebral palsy vary from individual to individual. Although there is no cure, there are treatments available to help those affected. These include physiotherapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy.
Are you a carer for or relative of someone with cerebral palsy? It’s just as important for you to look after your own physical and mental wellbeing too.
The Brain Charity provides free support for carers, friends and family of people with any form of neurological condition, including cerebral palsy, from anywhere in the UK.
We also run an additional carers advocacy service for all carers in Liverpool, regardless of which type of condition the person they care for has.
We can help you even if you don’t view yourself as a formal carer or claim Carer’s Allowance. Find out some of the ways we support carers below.
