What is "cerebral palsy"?
Cerebral Palsy is also known as spastic paralysis and refers to a group of disorders that involve a loss of movement or a loss of nerve function. Students with Cerebral Palsy can be found eligible for special education supports and services if the IEP team feels that the nature of their disability is severe enough to merit special education supports and services. However, just because a student possesses Cerebral Palsy or was born with Cerebral Palsy does not automatically qualify him for special education services or supports.
