About Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a group of neurological conditions affecting movement, posture, and coordination, caused by damage to the developing brain before, during, or shortly after birth. It is the most common physical disability in childhood. The severity varies widely — some people need minimal support while others require 24/7 care, assistive technology, and specialist disability accommodation.

Key NDIS supports for cerebral palsy

Critical NDIS supports for cerebral palsy include physiotherapy for movement and strength, occupational therapy for daily living skills and equipment, speech pathology for communication, assistive technology (wheelchairs, communication devices, home modifications), support workers for personal care and community access, and SDA for those with high physical support needs.
