Is Cerebral Palsy Considered a Disability in Australia? Understanding the Support and Challenges Cerebral Palsy (CP) is widely recognized as a disability in Australia. CP is a lifelong physical condition that affects movement, posture, and muscle control. It occurs as a result of damage to the developing brain, often before or during birth. With a prevalence rate of approximately 2 in every 1,000 live births, cerebral palsy is one of the most common physical disabilities among children in Australia. The condition affects around 34,000 Australians today, impacting not just their mobility but also potentially their vision, hearing, speech, and cognitive abilities. https://stacyphilip8.medium.com/is-cerebral-palsy-considered-a-disability-in-australia-understanding-the-support-and-challenges-b006fa0408f6 #mycpguide #cerebralpalsyaustralia
