Cerebral palsy is a condition that typically arises from issues affecting the development of a baby’s brain during pregnancy. These problems may include damage to the brain’s white matter due to reduced blood or oxygen supply.

While there is currently no cure for cerebral palsy, there are available treatments to support individuals with the condition. A team of healthcare professionals collaborates to create a personalized care plan for each individual.

There are five distinct types of cerebral palsy: spastic, ataxic, athetoid, hypotonic, and mixed types. Each type is characterized by a unique set of symptoms, and it is possible for children to exhibit symptoms of more than one type of cerebral palsy.

Down syndrome is a genetic condition where a person has an additional chromosome. Chromosomes are bundles of genes that shape the body’s development and function during pregnancy and after birth.

Normally, a baby is born with 46 chromosomes. However, babies with Down syndrome have an extra copy of one of these chromosomes. Although individuals with Down syndrome may exhibit some similarities in appearance and behavior, each person possesses unique abilities.

People with Down syndrome typically have a lower IQ (a measure of intelligence) in the mildly to moderately impaired range and may have delayed speech compared to other children.

Intellectual disability is a condition marked by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, which emerge before the age of 22. Intellectual functioning, often referred to as intelligence, encompasses various mental abilities, such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.

Adaptive behavior, on the other hand, involves the set of skills individuals learn and utilize in their daily lives, encompassing conceptual, social, and practical abilities. The condition arises during the developmental period, which is defined as before the age of 22, and is collectively known as developmental disabilities.

Vision impairment, also known as visual impairment or vision loss, refers to a significant reduction in visual function that cannot be fully corrected with glasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery. It encompasses a wide range of conditions that affect the eyes or the visual pathways in the brain, resulting in decreased visual acuity, reduced peripheral vision, or other visual disturbances. Vision impairment can vary in severity, from mild to profound, and can impact individuals of all ages.

Deafness and hard of hearing refer to varying degrees of hearing loss, which can range from mild to profound and can affect individuals differently in terms of communication, daily activities, and social interactions.

Deafness typically refers to individuals who have severe to profound hearing loss, often to the extent that they cannot understand speech through hearing alone, even with the use of hearing aids or cochlear implants. Deaf individuals may primarily rely on sign language, lip-reading, and visual communication methods to communicate.

Hard of hearing individuals have varying degrees of hearing loss, typically mild to moderate, which may impact their ability to hear and understand speech, particularly in noisy environments or from a distance. They may benefit from hearing aids, assistive listening devices, or other technologies to enhance their hearing.
