		Cerebral palsy, then known as "Cerebral Paralysis", was first identified by a British surgeon named William Little in 1860.
		While mental retardation and cerebral palsy do not cause each other, the two disorders are found together in approximately 20%-30% of all persons with cerebral palsy.

	About Cerebral Palsy
		Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a term used to describe a group of disorders affecting body movement and muscle co-ordination.
		Cerebral palsy is not a progressive condition - damage to the brain is a one-time event so it will not get worse - and people with cerebral palsy have a normal life-span.
		Although people with cerebral palsy are considered to have a normal life span, the physical challenges of CP may intensify with age (such as increased spasticity, fatigue, loss of strength and declining mobility), and these physical challenges can in turn lead to increased stress and anxiety.
