Cerebral palsy is a birth injury resulting from damage to the cerebrum, the part of the brain that controls motor skills, sensory functions, and cognitive thought. Cerebral palsy is marked by intellectual limitations, hearing deficits, vision impairment, behavioral problems, seizures, speaking difficulties, and learning disabilities.

 

          Cerebral Palsy may be caused by professional neglect during prenatal care or childbirth. It’s causes may include premature birth, birth trauma, and neonatal asphyxia (lack of oxygen).
