CEREBRAL PALSY MADE FOR ADULTS_WOWCP


Hi and welcome to CEREBRAL PALSY MADE FOR ADULTS_WOWCP. 17 million people are affected by CEREBRAL PALSY around the world. Why it is the most commonly childhood disables. That can come at birth up to two years age.
What is Cerebral Palsy you’re wondering? Cerebral Palsy is “While Cerebral Palsy (pronounced seh-ree-brel pawl-zee) is a blanket term commonly referred to as “CP” and described by loss or impairment of motor function, Cerebral Palsy is actually caused by brain damage. The brain damage is caused by brain injury or abnormal development of the brain that occurs while a child’s brain is still developing — before birth, during birth, or immediately after birth. Cerebral Palsy affects body movement, muscle control, muscle coordination, muscle tone, reflex, posture and balance. It can also impact fine motor skills, gross motor skills and oral motor functioning.” (Taken  from http://www.cerebralpalsy.org)
While there is so much that is talked about Cerebral Palsy birth to 18. After 18 it forgotten about. As an adult it more of trial and error on the adult with Cerebral Palsy part, we also learn from each other throw social media. This is where I feel social media can be a positive.
I have spent the last three years of my life teach myself how to except my Cerebral Palsy within myself as an adult. What I have learned is there a whole community that at one time or another that has felt the same way I have in life.
Now after three year of run a close group by the same name, I feel like I can take on life as an adult and maybe start teacher the younger generation that Cerebral Palsy the knowledge I have gain through life with Cerebral Palsy.
Now you might be asking what do the letters WOWCP stand for. It is an acronym for” WORK OUT WITH CEREBRAL PALSY” With everything a person wants to achieve with Cerebral Palsy from just getting dress in the morning to doing our daily routine, it’s a workout.
For a person with Cerebral Palsy it talk our body to use 3-5 times more energy to do a simple daily act, such as getting ready  for our day. Feel free to come follow me as I show how to navigate through life as an adult with Cerebral Palsy in my all new page CEREBRAL PALSY MADE FOR ADULT_WOWCP

I found myself within him

" Holding hands is a promise to one another, just for a moment the two of you don’t have to face the word alone " - From Quote on diary.me This what I always hoped to find in a partner I would choose to give myself to. For me, it just happen later in life and a way I never thought it would.  It all started three years ago, when I starting a journey to find who I was as an adult with Cerebral Palsy. I was told from a friend if you type "Cerebral Palsy" in Facebook seach, you would find a whole world on Facebook of different groups for people with Cerebral Palsy. After doing this for awhile I got the idea of starting my own Facebook group with the things I knew about Cerebral Palsy and the things I wanted to know.  As I was doing some research, I came across a story on mycpchild.org It was a story about a man with Cerebral Palsy that was deaf. The story hit me like a bolt of lightning and something stirred inside as I read about Jack Runser. With all the odds up agai

To say it was a struggle would be
