The words Cerebral Palsy are used to describe a medical condition that affects control of the muscles. Cerebral means anything in the head and palsy refers to anything wrong with control of the muscles or joints in the body. If someone has cerebral palsy it means that because of an injury to their brain (that's the cerebral part) they are not able to use some of the muscles in their body in the normal way (that's the palsy part). Children who have cerebral palsy, or CP, may not be able to walk, talk, eat or play in the same ways as most other kids. It is important to know that CP is not a disease or illness. It isn't contagious and it doesn't get worse, but it is not something you "grow out of." Children who have CP will have it all their lives.

Children with Cerebral Palsy often do not grow the same as other children. Children with CP are often shorter and thinner than other children of the same age. We do not know if this is "normal," or if there could be a problem with nutrition or hormones, and so we are interested in discovering what is "just right" for a child with CP. The first step in understanding growth in Cerebral Palsy is to measure a large group of children with CP. This study is under way in six different medical centers in the United States and Canada.

Top of Page New OFCP Assistive Devices Funding Program By motion of the Board of Directors of the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy, at the March 20th, 2004 Board meeting. Staff of the OFCP will be developing guidelines, application forms and procedures pertaining to this new funding program. This will be a program designed to assist individuals with cerebral palsy in the purchase of assistive devices. It is intended that in situations where ADP provides the initial funding to purchase the prescribed equipment, the OFCP will provide a grant in circumstances where the individual has been unable to obtain funding to cover the balance or a portion of the balance required. A limited amount of funding will be made available each year by the OFCP for this purpose. This program will begin September 1, 2004. All pertinent information such as guidelines, application forms and procedures will be available by mail or on the OFCP website August 1st, 2004.

provided all the cute graphics Josh's Birth Story MacKenzie's Birth Story CP 101 Treatments for CP ... Scrapbooking Welcome to our Cyberscrapbook! We created this page to share information with other families of children with disabilities - and more specifically those diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Our son Joshua was born at 30 weeks gestation and later diagnosed with spastic quadraparesis cerebral palsy and PVL - periventricular leukomalacia. We were so fortunate to have many resources online when Josh was first diagnosed and we want to give something back hopefully helping someone else along the way. Josh is now 9 years old and is a wonderful kid. He's in a typical 4th grade classroom with an aide to help him with the physical things he can't do easily. He uses a power wheelchair but still is a GameCube and Playstation II fanatic! His favorite past time is using his new Apple Powerbook that he got for Christmas or using the telephone. He has memorized at least 100 phone numbers! Josh has a sister named MacKenzie who is quite a character. She goes to Montessori school and really loves it. We love to hear her Spanish songs that she learns in school. She'll be going all day this fall hooray! :) For parents who may be finding out about a diagnosis of CP, we want to share some information about what types of CP there are, some common treatments of CP and detail some support resources that you might find helpful.

NCBDDD Home Cerebral Palsy What Is Cerebral Palsy? How Common Is It? ... Click here to contact the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities. What is cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy refers to a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and to maintain balance and posture. It is due to a nonprogressive brain abnormality, which means that it does not get worse over time, though the exact symptoms can change over a person's lifetime. People with cerebral palsy have damage to the part of the brain that controls muscle tone. Muscle tone is the amount of resistance to movement in a muscle. It is what lets you keep your body in a certain posture or position. For example, it lets you sit up straight and keep your head up. Changes in muscle tone let you move. For example, to bring your hand to your face, the tone in your biceps muscle at the front of your arm must increase while the tone in the triceps muscle at the back of your arm must decrease. The tone in different muscle groups must be balanced for you to move smoothly. There are four main types of cerebral palsy - spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed.

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.
