The objective for the content of Cerebral Palsy Guidance (CPG) is to provide readers with thoroughly-researched articles on cerebral palsy and birth injuries, backed by scientific sources and experts in the medical and legal field.
CPG serves as a vast source of information and outreach for families and communities who need tips and support when caring for a child with cerebral palsy. The information includes, in part, daily life tips, support group details, information on financial assistance, respite care details, and education options.
