"I was born at 27 weeks and weighed 3 lbs 11oz. My parents are both Filipino and came to the US because my dad was in the Navy. Growing up, I was told I was premature and I was pulled out by my legs and my hips were dislocated. It wasn’t until my first internship for PT school that my mentor mentioned 'CP.' I had no clue. I went home and looked at my old hospital records and there it was — 'spastic diplegia.' My parents must not have understood. English was not their primary language."

Many people with grow up without clear information or the support they need at every age and life stage — starting with a diagnosis. We're grateful for stories like Christie's that help illuminate the gaps in care for people with cerebral palsy across the lifespan.💚

"I was adopted as a baby and my parents found out shortly after that I had a seizure disorder and Cerebral Palsy. They spent the next 15 years or so taking me to all the doctor appointments, physical therapy and occupational therapy. I wouldn't be where I am without the early intervention that was provided. Now as an adult, I am experiencing the effects on my body. Weak hips, osteoarthritis in my knees and constant back pain to name a few. Now, as an adult I am trying to navigate like with where my body is now."

Thank you, Lauren, for openly sharing how has shaped your life. Aging with cerebral palsy can feel daunting to navigate, but we are working hard to change the landscape of healthcare with adults with CP. Visit cerebralpalsygrowsup.org to learn more.

The U.S. hasn’t reduced prematurity in 15 years.

Despite medical progress, innovation, and decades of effort, the national preterm birth rate remains at 10.4% — almost identical to 2007. In many communities, especially for Black families, rates are even higher.

And the impact is significant:

Up to 45% of children with cerebral palsy were born preterm.

Without a reduction in prematurity, there's no reduction of the number of cases of preventative disability either.

At the Cerebral Palsy Foundation, we are driving the next era of prevention, early detection, and early intervention. Visit https://www.cerebralpalsyfoundation.org/early-detection-and-intervention-network/ to learn more about our Early Detection & Intervention Network.

We can and must do better.
