Welcome to That Mom With CP-a space created to celebrate and support mothers with cerebral palsy through shared stories, adaptive parenting tips, and honest conversations about self-care and disability.

Discover how living with cerebral palsy has made me a more patient, adaptable, and intentional mom—and why disability can be a strength, not a setback.

An honest, uplifting look at motherhood with CP — what I feared, what I learned, and how becoming a disabled mom became my greatest strength.

This research studied falls in ambulatory children and adults with CP specifically asking how often they’ve fallen, fall-related injuries experienced, circumstances around the fall, the level of fear or concern about future falls, and the extent to which they do or don’t avoid certain activities due to their concern about falling. This study sets a strong foundation for future fall research, quantifying the breadth and depth of the problem across a large spectrum of age and walking ability.

One of the things that was identified through research is that patients with cerebral palsy have higher rates of depression and anxiety than you would see in the general population.
