"Cerebral" refers to the brain and "palsy" to a disorder of movement or posture. It is neither progressive nor communicable. It is also not "curable" in the accepted sense, although education, therapy and applied technology can help persons with cerebral palsy lead productive lives. It is not a disease and should never be referred to as such. It can range from mild to severe. Back to the Table of Contents Incidence Between 500,000 - 700,000 Americans have some degree of cerebral palsy. About 3,000 babies are born with the disorder each year, and another 500 or so acquire it in the early years of life.

Cerebral Palsy and Motor Delay Cerebral palsy is one of the most common causes of chronic childhood disability, occuring in 1.4-2.7% births. Improved survival of extremely preterm infants may be increasing the number of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Between 5 and 8 percent of infants weighing less than 3 pounds (1,500 grams) at birth develop cerebral palsy (primarily diplegic cerebral palsy); they are 25 times more likely to develop cerebral palsy than infants who are bornfull term. However, preemies still constitute a small minority of the overall number of children with cerebral palsy.

Sheena Carter, PhD Motor Impairment Associated with Neurological Injury in Premature Infants This informative article discusses motor impairment and cerebral palsy of preterm infants.

Blossoms I never dreamt that tender blossoms would be brown or precious angels could come down to live in the garden of my giving heart... but here you are brown angel -Walter Dean Myers Our family 1996 Kimberly 6 months Kimberly Noelle Born March 8 1996, Kim came to us not by stork but by airplane from Wash DC. She was met at the airport by her new family - Brenda, Steve, and big brother Myles. Grammy and Grandad were there too and as Myles says "Mom and Grammy were bawling and the men were taking pictures!". At birth she weighed 2 pounds 12 ounces and stayed in the hospital for 7 weeks to gain weight and then was in a foster home for about 3 weeks while our paperwork was processed. She was so tiny and slept a LOT! Little did we know how this beautiful baby would change all of our lives! Kimberly had been born 10 weeks premature and at her first pediatric visit the doctor said she didn't seem to have any of the common problems that preemies often face. We felt very blessed. Then at 6 months old Kim's eyes began crossing and she had the first of two surgeries to correct it. At this time mom began to have the feeling that there was more to come. After being assured by the doc's that she would "catch up in a couple of years" Kim was diagnosed at 15 months with Periventricular Leukomalacia. In her case the PVL also caused Cerebral Palsy. Since then we have learned, laughed, cried, and loved her more than we ever thought possible. She is teaching us what matters most in life.
