Hi @Charliep
Welcome to the community! Check out the Specific Conditions section and you will find Cerebal Palsy, varied discussions regarding the condition. I'm sure others will be in contact with you soon

Hi @Charliep and a very warm welcome to the community! We have a CP board that I will move this discussion to and I hope this will help you find others. It may also be worth looking at the Parents and Carers board. The community is about giving advice and support so I hope we can offer you just that.
I have CP myself so if you had any more general questions then I would love to help! We also have my colleague @Richard_Scope who is the Cerebral Palsy information specialist!

Hi @Charliep
We have some videos of parents discussing their child's impairments that you might like to watch?

Hi @Charliep
Great to meet you! It can be a very lonely time as a parent when you have received a diagnosis. I have Cerebral Palsy myself and can chat to you about any aspects of CP. I would also like to suggest a really useful book called Including Children with Cerebral Palsy in the Early Years
You don't have to go through this alone. We are here as a community to help where we can.
