Cheap Web Site Hosting Cerebral Palsy Grassroots Organization-San Antonio, Texas This is a grassroots organization that anyone living in the United States or Canada, that is the parent of a child with cerebral palsey, or a person with cerebral palsey may join. My son has been through the education system in both countries as well, and I can tell you that both educational systems fall short when it comes to educating children with physical disabilities. I am now currently homeschooling Morgan since the public school systems in both Canada and Texas have done a great disservice to my son. He is supposed to be in the 9th grade here in Texas. I am testing him now to see where he is academically and it is turning out that he is only at the 5th - 7th grade level in everything but Math. In Math he is only at the 3rd grade level. The public school systems have passed Morgan only because of his age, not because of his academic abilities. Honestly I think that the administrators believe that my son's brain is in his legs. On the following pages you will find an area in which to submit your stories about yourself or your children in the public school system. Please tell me how your child or yourself did in school, and if you have done the same thing I did, withdrawn your child from the public school system to homeschool please tell me that. I am currently trying to collect data to find out the trend that I have heard is happening. I have heard that there are a number of parents pulling their children with disabilities out of the public school system to homeschool them because the public education system has not taught them. If you have done this please send an email detailing your story to the email address below.

Organizations Forums Learning and Other Disabilities Related Articles A Parent's Guide to Accessing Programs for Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers with Disabilities A Guide to Children's Literature and Disability Definition of Cerebral Palsy Cerebral palsy is a condition caused by damage to the brain, usually occurring before, during or shortly following birth. "Cerebral" refers to the brain and "palsy" to a disorder of movement or posture. It is neither progressive nor communicable. It is also not "curable" in the accepted sense, although education, therapy and applied technology can help persons with cerebral palsy lead productive lives. It is not a disease and should never be referred to as such. It can range from mild to severe. Back to the Table of Contents Incidence Between 500,000 - 700,000 Americans have some degree of cerebral palsy. About 3,000 babies are born with the disorder each year, and another 500 or so acquire it in the early years of life.

Education Employment Housing Transportation ... Travel Your UCP: National March 30, 2003 Boccia Boccia is a competitive game that can be played one-on-one, in pairs, or with teams of three. It is played on a specially marked court, usually with a hard surface. The goal of the game is for players/teams to throw/bowl game balls so that they get them as close as possible to a special target ball. The game begins with a player throwing the white target ball onto the court. Opponents then take turns trying to throw/bowl their game balls as close as possible to the target ball. When the game balls have all been thrown, a referee determines the points awarded to individual or teams based on measurement of how near the game balls are to the target ball. Boccia is an official sport of the United States Cerebral Palsy Athletic Association (USCPAA), the Dwarf Athletic Association of America (DAAA), and Special Olympics International (SOI). (see links below) There are two modified versions of boccia that are commonly played: Precision boccia and Special Olympic Boccia. BENEFITS OF PLAYING BOCCIA Boccia is an activity that can be enjoyed by persons of all ages and persons with a wide variety of disabilities. It can be played for recreation, as a competitive sport, or for physical education in school programs. The game requires planning and strategy in trying to place playing balls for maximum scoring. It also can develop or increase hand-eye coordination. Finally, boccia is an activity in which individuals with severe disabilities can participate and develop a high level of skill. The game can be easily adapted to allow players with functional limitations to use chutes and ramps in order to to place their game balls into play.

Cerebral Palsy Features an online cerebral palsy booklet, dictionary, book and resource lists, and special sections Category Health Conditions and Diseases cerebral palsy......Welcome to the cerebral palsy Resource Center. The prevalence of cerebralpalsy has remained very stable for many years at this percentage. http://www.twinenterprises.com/cp/

Welcome to the Cerebral Palsy Resource Center Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common causes of chronic childhood disability, with a frequency of 1.4 - 2.7% of live births. The prevalence of cerebral palsy has remained very stable for many years at this percentage. While the improved survival of extremely preterm infants may result in an increasing number of children with cerebral palsy, preemies constitute a small minority of the overall number of disabled children. About 10% of preemies born at less than 1000 grams will eventually be diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Estimates range from 17 - 60% of CP cases that have no known perinatal or neonatal etiology. Children who have mild motor impairment and who are suspected of cerebral palsy at one year of age are often free of motor symptoms by early school age. These children, however, are more likely to have other developmental problems, including mental retardation, learning disability, seizures, and speech problems than those with no early motor problems. Early identification and treatment of cerebral palsy and/or other related developmental problems may stabilize the impairment and reduce associated disability. ( Overview by Dr. Sheena Carter

How common is it? What are the signs? ... Additional Resources Fact Sheet 2 (FS2) August 2002 Approx. 7 pages when printed. 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
