About Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy (also called CP) can be described as a movement disorder caused by abnormal development or damage to the brain. Often related to a traumatic birth, it can manifest in a multitude of ways including difficulty executing movement, either low or high tone muscle coordination, challenges with speech and/or swallowing, to name just a few. 

Challenges of Cerebral Palsy

When a child has Cerebral Palsy, there are many "neuro-typical" functions that become a challenge. Whether muscles have low tone or are highly spastic, coordinating movement is difficult. Swallowing and speech can be disrupted. Cognitive functions can be delayed, but not necessarily.  Cerebral Palsy will manifest uniquely in every single person.

can help kids with CP

                               Movement organizes the brain.
NeuroMovement uses gentle movements to connect to each nervous system and offer what the brain needs: new information.  New information is used to create neural pathways and new possibilities.  Parents of children with Cerebral Palsy report some of the following gains after beginning NeuroMovement lessons:

• improved physical and emotional flexibility
• increased coordination
• clarity of speech
• upgraded awareness of self
• enhanced independence
