There is a lot of information on the Internet about all aspects of cerebral palsy and related disorders. We could not hope to cover it all. But here are links to a number of sites that may prove useful:

Support and information for families

SCOPE
Campaigns – SCOPE works with disabled people on the issues that are most important to them and aim to raise awareness, change attitudes and influence government policy.
Help and information – we support disabled people and their families through practical information and support, particularly at the time of diagnosis and in a child’s early years.
Services – we offer a range of services for disabled children and adults, which are primarily focused on those whose complex support needs are not met elsewhere.

Patient UK Health Information
Comprehensive health information as provided by GPs and nurses to patients during consultations

Southeast Mobility and Rehabilitation Technology (SMART) Centre
The SMART Centre provides a wide range of rehabilitation technology services for the South East of Scotland, covering Lothian, Fife and the Borders. These include mobility and postural services (wheelchairs and special seating), prosthetics, and bioengineering services (artificial limbs and special equipment), a Disabled Living Centre and Gait Analysis Service. The Edinburgh Gait Score was devised at the Centre (see Information for Professionals/Measured outcomes).

Robert Jones & Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic & District Hospital NHS Trust
The Movement Centre is located within the Robert Jones & Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic & District Hospital NHS Trust but is independent of it.

Cheyne Charity for Children with Cerebral Palsy
The Cheyne Charity for Children with Cerebral Palsy helps a number of children and their families to improve their lives – including the provision of essential equipment, where this could not otherwise be afforded. They rely entirely upon voluntary support.

Cerebral palsy-related research

Training and testing Core Control using Virtual Reality games
This is being carried out at the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University
