    Welcome @Babyhippo26!

    You might be interested in our Cerebral Palsy network. You can find out more and how to join here - Cerebral Palsy (CP) Network | Disability charity Scope UK. @Richard_Scope and @Lucy_Scope are members of lovely members of the team and might be able to offer some more support and advice πŸ™‚

    Hi,

    My name is Lucy, and I am a Cerebral Palsy Specialist

    It is lovely to hear that you want to understand your daughter's cerebral palsy (CP).

    As Holly mentioned, you can join our CP Network. We host monthly Zoom meetings for adults with CP and their families and carers.

    Here is a good overview of what CP is.

    UP has a great resource for family members, too.

    Feel free to ask any questions, and someone from our team will be in touch.

    Best wishes,

    Lucy
