Children with cerebral palsy struggle to learn fundamental skills. They do not have the typical early experiences of their peers due to their disabilities. They are often excluded from everyday activities in their communities and unable to attend mainstream nursery provision, limiting their opportunities for socialisation and integration. They are at risk of isolation and early intervention is crucial for their development.

How we support children with cerebral palsy
