Read MoreHow to Talk to Your Kids About Disability: Encouraging Empathy During CP Awareness Month
Opening the Conversation at Home
As parents, we try to prepare our kids for a world full of diversity—different cultures, personalities, and abilities.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, muscle tone, and posture.

That’s why these discussions matter: they shape how the next generation responds, with kindness or discomfort.
