Cerebral Palsy Resources
Cerebral palsy (CP) has come a long way in the last 30 years. From stigmatized illness to mainstream consciousness, this developmental disability has gained the spotlight in recent years and has seen the dawn of many resources for parents, family members and children. Here's a rundown of the best resources for your kid:
Local Parents' Groups
Many parents have organized on behalf of kids with CP. Local parents' groups can give parents a supportive, activist atmosphere in which to trade tricks and tips, organize fundraising campaigns and awareness missions, and allow their kids to socialize with other kids who have cerebral palsy. Check your local hospital, phone book or social services agency to find out if such a group exists in your area.
The Internet
The World Wide Web is a great tool for parents of children with CP. From information, news, and activism to support, companionship and innovative ideas, websites offer parents and kids a multitude of options and connect them with the global CP community. Good starting points include Susie's CP Home, Family Village's CP page, and Healing Arts.
Institutes and Foundations
There are several charitable and academic organizations devoted to educating the public about and seeking a cure for cerebral palsy. These include United Cerebral Palsy, the UCP Research and Educational Foundation, The Alfred I. Dupont Institute, and March of Dimes.
