Can people with cerebral palsy have kids?
There is currently no evidence to suggest that cerebral palsy affects fertility. Research suggests cerebral palsy is inherited in only a very small percentage of cases and there are normally other additional social or cultural factors. The risk of a mother or father with cerebral palsy having a child with cerebral palsy is generally not significantly different from that of any other person. Generally, there is no medical reason why a woman with cerebral palsy should not have a baby, with no greater risk of miscarriage or premature birth.

How do you know when a child with cerebral pasly is hungry?
I have cerebral palsy. There are many different severities of cerebral palsy. I am able to speak, walk, and do many other things that a lot of kids with CP cannot do. But to answer your question, there are many ways. If you have a child with CP that doesn't communicate through speech, then you and the child could create a variety of signs, for instance, if the child is hungry, they could pat their stomach. Some severities would scream. then you could ask the child, "Are you hungry?" If they cant speak, then you could formulate a system where yes is one blink and no is two, or shaking the head is yes, and blinking is no. Some children with CP may want to have a computer to communicate.

What's Cerebral palsy?
Cerebral Palsy, also known as CP, is a term used to identify children who are born with physical disabilities, many times due to lack of oxygen at birth, for some reason. Most people with CP have many difficulties from birth. Their speech may be affected as well as their ability to walk properly, sometimes their vision is affected. Developmental milestones are delayed, and many use walkers or wheelchairs to get around. They also may have "spastic" movements of the arms and legs, sometimes unable to control the muscles. Some kids with CP are very disabled, while others may be quite smart, but unable to express themselves. Whenever you meet a person in a wheelchair who does not have total control of speech or legs and arms, DON'T treat them like they are retarded or stupid and don't know what you are saying. You would be very surprised at how smart and capable that a person is. NEVER underestimate someone, and act like they are not there. They are there, but they may not be able to voice their feelings.
