World Cerebral Palsy Day  6th October 2024

All the Team at MAES THERAPY International wish everyone involved with World CP Day 2024 all the very best and hope that the lives of children and adults with Cerebral Palsy will be improved as a result of all the new projects initiated worldwide this year.

Our vision is to ensure that children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP) have the same rights, access and opportunities as anyone else in our society. It is only together, that we can make that happen.

World Cerebral Palsy Day is a global movement that started in 2012. Last year, it reached over 10 million people. It aims to bring together people living with cerebral palsy, their families, supporters and organisations from over 100 countries. All with the aim to ensure a future in which children and adults with cerebral palsy have the same rights, access and opportunities as anyone else in our society.

It’s a day to share what CP means to the individual, parents, siblings and family.  It’s about creating awareness and celebrating people with CP.  The Day aims to gather ideas from people with cerebral palsy and their supporters from around the world and make the best of those ideas a reality.

Celebrate the Potential on World Cerebral Palsy Day – because a Disability is no Handicap.

About Cerebral Palsy

There are 17 million people across the world living with cerebral palsy (CP). Another 350 million people are closely connected to a child or adult with CP. It is the most common physical disability in childhood.

CP is a permanent disability that affects movement. Its impact can range from a weakness in one hand, to almost a complete lack of voluntary movement. It is a complex disability: 1 in 4 children with CP cannot talk, 1 in 3 cannot walk, 1 in 2 have an intellectual disability, 1 in 4 have epilepsy.* CP is a lifelong disability and there is no known cure
