Cerebral palsy

Including young children with cerebral palsy requires early years practitioners to understand not only the physical but also the learning disabilities commonly associated with the condition. 

This session covers the common causes and effects of cerebral palsy, looking at the different aspects on the developing child within the family and the impact on early education.
