What is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a lifelong condition that affects movement, posture and coordination, caused by an injury or difference in brain development before, during or shortly after birth. Each person's experience is unique — some walk independently, others use mobility equipment. CP is well recognised by the NDIS.
Common challenges people may experience
- Mobility, walking and posture
- Fine motor skills and self-care
- Communication and speech
- Pain, fatigue and muscle tone
- Access to equipment and home modifications
How the NDIS may support people with Cerebral Palsy
Where cerebral palsy causes significant, ongoing impact, the NDIS may fund a tailored mix of supports — including allied health therapies, support workers, support coordination, assistive technology and community participation. Every plan is different and built around the participant's goals. We can help you find providers once your plan is in place.
