March is National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month

According to Cerebral Palsy New Today:

“Cerebral palsy is a neurological disability that affects thousands of children and adults worldwide. March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, which allows us to celebrate and educate others about the disorder.

Not everyone has cerebral palsy in the same way, but we do have similarities. Muscle movement and coordination are usually affected. Posture and speech impediments are almost similar, but the differences are in the details. The best way to know how cerebral palsy affects a person is to talk to them. Feel free to get to know who they are, and you will gain insight into how their disability affects them.

This March, please remember that green isn’t just for St. Patrick’s Day. Green is for the beautiful past and future for adults and children with cerebral palsy! Let others know something about cerebral palsy and spread awareness so that the future will become even brighter.”
