What Is Cerebral Palsy? - New Podcast Provides Answers

If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, it’s likely you have lots of questions – the first of which is undoubtedly “what is cerebral palsy?” There are lots of great resources on the Web to help you answer this question, including a new podcast on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

The  CDC podcast describes the causes, preventions, types, and signs and symptoms of cerebral palsy and is part of one organization’s efforts to raise cerebral palsy awareness.
