PDF version Jennifer's Story Jen was born 11 weeks early and weighed only 2½ pounds. The doctors were surprised to see what a strong, wiggly girl she was. But when Jen was just a few days old, she stopped breathing and was put on a ventilator. After 24 hours she was able to breathe on her own again. The doctors did a lot of tests to find out what had happened, but they couldn't find anything wrong. The rest of Jen's time in the hospital was quiet, and after two months she was able to go home. Everyone thought she would be just fine. At home, Jen's mom noticed that Jen was really sloppy when she drank from her bottle. As the months went by, Jen's mom noticed other things she didn't remember seeing with Jen's older brother. At six months, Jen didn't hold her head up straight. She cried a lot and would go stiff with rage. When Jen went back for her six-month checkup, the doctor was concerned by what he saw and what Jen's mom told him. He suggested that Jen's mom take the little girl to a doctor who could look closely at Jen's development. Jen's mom took her to a developmental specialist who finally put a name to all the little things that hadn't seemed right with Jen cerebral palsy

Links Genetic Disorders The Links to Diet Read my Contents: Overview Genetic Disorders and Birth Defects Treatable Through Diet Prenatal Nutrition and Birth Defects Genetic Disorders, Birth Defects and Logic ... General Information on Genes, Nutrition and Disease Overview Many researchers and support groups state that birth defects and genetic disorders, especially connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome , can't possibly be cured through diet because they are inherited genetic disorders. This conclusion is invalid simply because many birth defects and inherited genetic disorders have been found to be improved, or even cured, through diet. The old school of thinking that a birth defect or inherited disorder had to be caused by a single gene is no longer widely held in medical circles. The breakthrough concept in research is that many birth defects and inherited disorders are influenced by both genes and environmental factors, especially nutrition. Genes may make people susceptible to certain defects and disorders, but they are often only a part of the picture. Some interesting examples and articles on the subject are listed below.

Education Employment Housing Transportation ... Travel Your UCP: National June 07, 2004 Boccia Boccia is a competitive game that can be played one-on-one, in pairs, or with teams of three. It is played on a specially marked court, usually with a hard surface. The goal of the game is for players/teams to throw/bowl game balls so that they get them as close as possible to a special target ball. The game begins with a player throwing the white target ball onto the court. Opponents then take turns trying to throw/bowl their game balls as close as possible to the target ball. When the game balls have all been thrown, a referee determines the points awarded to individual or teams based on measurement of how near the game balls are to the target ball. Boccia is an official sport of the United States Cerebral Palsy Athletic Association (USCPAA), the Dwarf Athletic Association of America (DAAA), and Special Olympics International (SOI). (see links below) There are two modified versions of boccia that are commonly played: Precision boccia and Special Olympic Boccia. BENEFITS OF PLAYING BOCCIA Boccia is an activity that can be enjoyed by persons of all ages and persons with a wide variety of disabilities. It can be played for recreation, as a competitive sport, or for physical education in school programs. The game requires planning and strategy in trying to place playing balls for maximum scoring. It also can develop or increase hand-eye coordination. Finally, boccia is an activity in which individuals with severe disabilities can participate and develop a high level of skill. The game can be easily adapted to allow players with functional limitations to use chutes and ramps in order to to place their game balls into play.

Prematurity Quick Reference and Fact Sheets Cerebral Palsy Cerebral palsy refers to a group of conditions that affect control of movement and posture. Because of damage to one or more parts of the brain that control movement, an affected child cannot move his or her muscles normally. While symptoms range from mild to severe, the condition does not get worse as the child gets older. With treatment, most children can significantly improve their abilities. Many children with cerebral palsy have other problems that require treatment. These include mental retardation; learning disabilities; seizures; and vision, hearing and speech problems. How common is cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy usually is not diagnosed until a child is about 2 to 3 years of age. About 2 to 3 children in 1,000 over the age of three have cerebral palsy. About 500,000 children and adults of all ages in this country have cerebral palsy. What are the different types of cerebral palsy?

50. Edgar Cayce's Perspective On Cerebral Palsy A synopsis of Edgar Cayce's readings on cerebral palsy. http://www.webspawner.com/users/ecsperspectiveoncp/

Edgar Cayce's Perspective on Cerebral Palsy By Dudley Delany, R.N, M.A., D.C. Edgar Cayce gave readings for more than a dozen persons afflicted with cerebral palsy, ranging in age from infancy to adulthood, and in degree of debility from mild to profound. The treatment recommended in each reading was different, depending on the needs and situation of the patient. Some cases were complicated by epilepsy and other conditions, and a number of different etiologies were cited (though the most frequent scenario appeared to be birth injury resulting from a breech presentation and a forceps delivery). Certain therapeutic commonalities did frequently recur, however, such as dietary advice, massage, osteopathic manipulative therapy, andespeciallyregular use of the Cayce wet cell battery. In almost every case, the prognosis was good, provided that the suggested treatment regimen was implemented with patience, persistence, and a positive attitude. Prayer, meditation, and other spiritual disciplines were also seen as being of paramount importance, particularly in cases that were "karmic" in nature (that is, in which cerebral palsy was seen as resulting from misdeeds in previous incarnations). Unfortunately, the Cayce approach to treating cerebral palsy is a long-term proposition, and it might easily take five to seven years (or longer) to achieve the maximum therapeutic benefit. Also, covert improvement can occur with little or no outward manifestion for many months, if not years. Thus there is often the lack of positive feedback to encourage one to continue treatment. Hence, in no case was the Cayce regimen implemented long enough to achieve its full effect.

52. Cerebral Palsy Welcome to the cerebral palsy Resource Center. The prevalence of cerebralpalsy has remained very stable for many years at this percentage. http://www.twinenterprises.com/cp/

Welcome to the Cerebral Palsy Resource Center Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common causes of chronic childhood disability, with a frequency of 1.4 - 2.7% of live births. The prevalence of cerebral palsy has remained very stable for many years at this percentage. While the improved survival of extremely preterm infants may result in an increasing number of children with cerebral palsy, preemies constitute a small minority of the overall number of disabled children. About 10% of preemies born at less than 1000 grams will eventually be diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Estimates range from 17 - 60% of CP cases that have no known perinatal or neonatal etiology. Children who have mild motor impairment and who are suspected of cerebral palsy at one year of age are often free of motor symptoms by early school age. These children, however, are more likely to have other developmental problems, including mental retardation, learning disability, seizures, and speech problems than those with no early motor problems. Early identification and treatment of cerebral palsy and/or other related developmental problems may stabilize the impairment and reduce associated disability. ( Overview by Dr. Sheena Carter

My son has been through the education system in both countries as well, and I can tell you that both educational systems fall short when it comes to educating children with physical disabilities. I am now currently homeschooling Morgan since the public school systems in both Canada and Texas have done a great disservice to my son. He is supposed to be in the 9th grade here in Texas. I am testing him now to see where he is academically and it is turning out that he is only at the 5th - 7th grade level in everything but Math. In Math he is only at the 3rd grade level. The public school systems have passed Morgan only because of his age, not because of his academic abilities. Honestly I think that the administrators believe that my son's brain is in his legs. On the following pages you will find an area in which to submit your stories about yourself or your children in the public school system. Please tell me how your child or yourself did in school, and if you have done the same thing I did, withdrawn your child from the public school system to homeschool please tell me that. I am currently trying to collect data to find out the trend that I have heard is happening. I have heard that there are a number of parents pulling their children with disabilities out of the public school system to homeschool them because the public education system has not taught them.

55. When Your Child Has Cerebral Palsy cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common congenital (existing beforebirth or at birth) disorders of childhood. What Is cerebral palsy? http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/brain/cerebral_palsy.html

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common congenital (existing before birth or at birth) disorders of childhood. About 500,000 children and adults of all ages in this country have cerebral palsy, and the overall incidence is rising because premature babies who once would have died are surviving. A preemie's risk of cerebral palsy is much higher than that of a full-term baby. Premature babies who weigh less than 3.3 pounds (1510 grams) are up to 30 times more likely to develop cerebral palsy than full-term babies. What Is Cerebral Palsy? Cerebral palsy is a disorder that affects motor skills (the ability to move in a coordinated and purposeful way), muscle tone, and muscle movement. Under usual circumstances, people learn to move their muscles in a coordinated and smooth way, although simple motions, even standing still, require a complicated interaction of muscles and nerves. Because a child who has cerebral palsy has difficulty controlling or coordinating his muscles , even these simple movements are difficult. Other problems children with cerebral palsy may develop include eating difficulties, bladder and bowel control problems, breathing problems, and learning disabilities.

Education Employment Housing Transportation ... Travel Your UCP: National June 07, 2004 Press Room Vocabulary Tips What is cerebral palsy? History What are the effects of cerebral palsy? What are the causes? ... What is the UCP Research and Educational Foundation? What is cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy is a term used to describe a group of chronic conditions affecting body movement and muscle coordination. It is caused by damage to one or more specific areas of the brain, usually occurring during fetal development; before, during, or shortly after birth; or during infancy. Thus, these disorders are not caused by problems in the muscles or nerves. Instead, faulty development or damage to motor areas in the brain disrupt the brain's ability to adequately control movement and posture. "Cerebral" refers to the brain and "palsy" to muscle weakness/poor control. Cerebral palsy itself is not progressive (i.e. brain damage does not get worse); however, secondary conditions, such as muscle spasticity, can develop which may get better over time, get worse, or remain the same. Cerebral palsy is not communicable. It is not a disease and should not be referred to as such.
