Abstract
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of physical and movement disorders in children, which is formed due to damage to a part of the brain that controls movements and gestures. Children affected have trouble moving and balancing. They cannot control the movement of their arms, legs and bodies like normal people, so they tend to face developmental delays. As a result, children with cerebral palsy must have a correct and appropriate rehabilitation program. Each patient has dierent symptoms, so there is no standard program that can treat all patients. A good rehabilitation plan must be an individualized plan approved by an interdisciplinary team who work with the patient, his/her family, teacher and caretaker.
