http://members.aol.com/shellic/private/cp.htm

Extractions: What is CP? Cerebral palsy (CP) , a disorder caused by damage to the brain, especially affecting ability to control movement and posture. Palsy is a synonym for paralysis, although a more accurate description of the usual muscular symptoms might be weakness (paresis), and inability to make voluntary movements and suppress involuntary ones. Depending on the location and extent of the damage, cerebral palsy can be mild, revealing itself as a kind of awkwardness, or severe, largely incapacitating a child from infancy. It is sometimes associated with other problems such as seizures (epilepsy), mental retardation, ear and hearing problems, eye and vision problems, communication problems (see communication skills and disorders), and impairment of other senses. Some of the children most severely affected with cerebral palsy may not survive infancy, but most will have a normal life span. Cerebral palsy is not contagious. It is not progressive-it does not get worse as time passes, and may instead improve somewhat with therapy (see below). It is not inherited, except in rare cases where it is associated with a genetic disorder, notably Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. Most cases are caused by brain damage during pregnancy, childbirth, or the neonatal period (just after birth); this is called congenital cerebral palsy, because it is present at or around the time of birth. However, approximately 10 percent of the cases are acquired cerebral palsy, in which CP has been triggered by events after birth, such as a traumatic brain injury, infections such as meningitis, and other types of brain damage, including injury from child abuse and neglect.

Extractions: Cerebral Palsy is a disorder caused by injury to the motor areas in the brain, affecting muscle tone and the ability to control movement and posture. In most cases, the onset occurs during pregnancy or at childbirth. In other cases, infections such as meningitis or traumatic brain injury may result in cerebral palsy. There are three types of movement disturbances associated with cerebral palsy: Spastic cerebral palsy, where muscles are tense, contracted, and resistant to movement. This is the most common form of cerebral palsy, especially in low birth weight or premature babies. Athetoid cerebral palsy, where the affected parts of the body perform involuntary writhing movements, such as turning, twisting, facial grimacing, and drooling. This form of cerebral palsy generally involves damage only to the motor centers, not to other parts of the brain. In the past the "strange" and "unnatural" movements were diagnosed as signs of mental or emotional disturbance. Ataxic cerebral palsy, where the main characteristic is lack of balance and coordination and altered depth perception, due to damage to the cerebellum. Ataxia involves difficulty maintaining balance and swaying when standing. Sometimes several areas of the brain are involved, so the description of a particular child's condition may involve several of the above terms and symptoms. Also, the severity of the disability will vary from child to child, ranging from mild awkwardness to inability to walk. Other conditions associated with cerebral palsy may include: seizures, ADHD, learning disabilities, vision problems and speech impairment.
