Introduction

March 1 marks the beginning of National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month - a time to celebrate and recognize individuals with cerebral palsy and their families, who are often overlooked. This awareness month is a great opportunity to educate the public about cerebral palsy, its symptoms, causes and treatments. Since the 1950s, medical professionals have been researching this neurological disorder in order to further understand and treat it more effectively. Various national organizations exist today to help those living with cerebral palsy as well as spread awareness about the condition.
