PTSD can be common in parents after a child with Cerebral Palsy has left the NICU. One of the hardest days of my life as a NICU parent was not what I would have expected it to be.

CP is the most common lifelong physical disability. Globally over 17 million people have cerebral palsy.
The specific motor types present in CP are determined by the extent, type, and location of the brain injury.
CP describes a spectrum of conditions that affects individuals in many different ways. Your care team may use the term GMFCS which stands for Gross Motor Function Classification Scale and is used to describe what mobility aids your child may need to complete certain tasks.
