Cerebral Palsy is a condition, sometimes thought of as a group of disorders that can involve brain and nervous system functions such as movement, learning, hearing, seeing, and thinking. There are several different types of cerebral palsy, including spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, hypotonic, and mixed.
Some symptoms are be very mild or very severe only involve one side of the body or both sides. Be more pronounced in either the arms or legs, or involve both the arms and legs. They are usually seen before a child is 2 years old, and sometimes begin as early as 3 months. Parents may notice that their child is delayed in reaching, and in developmental stages such as sitting, rolling, crawling, or walking. There are several different types of cerebral palsy. Some people have a mixture of symptoms.
Symptoms of Spastic cerebral palsy muscles that are very tight and do not stretch. They may tighten up even more over time. Abnormal walk (gait): arms tucked in toward the sides, knees crossed or touching, legs make "scissors" movements, walk on the toes. Joints are tight and do not open up all the way (called joint contracture). Muscle weakness or loss of movement in a group of muscles (paralysis). The symptoms may affect one arm or leg, one side of the body, both legs, and both arms and legs.

Putting the child in regular schools is recommended, unless physical disabilities or mental development makes this impossible. Special education or schooling may help.
Prevention getting the proper prenatal care may reduce the risk of some rare causes of cerebral palsy. However, dramatic improvements in care over the last 15 years have not reduced the rate of cerebral palsy. In most cases, the injury causing the disorder may not be preventable.
