The Cerebral Palsy Journey

The birth of a child represents a new journey that parents are eager to embrace. Some journeys, however, can lead us in directions we never imagined. When a parent receives their child’s diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy, a parent’s vision of the future changes. They must learn to cope with circumstances they were unprepared for.

The journey has its fair share of challenges and tough moments. But, it also has a basketful of rewards and accomplishments. Down the road, what parents learn about themselves and what their child can achieve almost always exceeds initial expectations. The more parents learn about Cerebral Palsy – and make connections with others – they learn the road they’re traveling offers tremendous joy, personal fulfillment, and soulful purpose. And, somewhere along the way they reinvent their futures.

Sometimes, not knowing where the path may lead can be intimidating. But there are always signposts on the road. For you and your child, it may be as simple as embracing a new adventure filled with self-discovery.
