DESCRIPTION:  Cerebral palsy is a disability resulting from damage to the brain before, during, or shortly after birth and outwardly manifested by muscular in coordination and speech disturbances. Cerebral palsy may make it hard to swallow. It also can cause eye muscle imbalance, in which the eyes don’t focus on the same object. People with the condition might have reduced range of motion in their joints due to muscle stiffness. The cause of cerebral palsy and its effect on function vary from person to person.
