1. Learning and gaining knowledge

2.  9b Students know how the nervous system
mediates communication between
different parts of the body and the body’s
interactions with the environment.
 9c Students know how the feedback loops
in the nervous and endocrine systems
regulate conditions in the body.

3.  It’s a group of disorders that affects
movements. It results from brain
damage that occurs during, or after
birth. It also affects the nervous system.
 There are different types of cerebral palsy:
▪ Diplegia affects arms and legs.
▪ Hemiplegia affects limbs on one side of the body.
▪ Quadriplegia affects all limbs.
▪ Monoplegia affects only one limb.
▪ Triplegia affects all three limbs.

4.  Cerebral palsy was discovered by an English surgeon in
the 1860’s named William Little.
 William Little notice the stiffness in children's arms
and legs called spastic diplegia.
 The previous name of cerebral palsy was ‘The Little’s
disease’.
 Cerebral palsy is also known as CP.
 Williams theory of cerebral palsy was
difficulties during birth.
 Williams theory was the most common
affect of cerebral palsy, but physicians today
discovered many more affects towards CP.

5.  Interference during delivery such as lack of
oxygen to the fetus.
 Cerebral palsy can be diagnosed before and
after birth.
 Epilepsy was known after CP; a brain disorder
with repeated seizures.
 Cerebral palsy is caused
mostly by the nervous
system.

6.  Having cerebral palsy causes the nervous
system to weaken the spinal chords
connection to the brain.

7.  Cerebral palsy is incurable, but it can be
maintain by physical therapy.
 In physical therapy they exercise and learn
how to balance themselves out.
 They also learn how to make body
movements on their own.

8.  Early signs of cerebral palsy will be noticeable
around the age of 3.
 A main sign of cerebral palsy in babies would
be development delay and abnormal muscle
tone.
▪ Development delay is when children or adults are not
able to stand, walk, run, sit, or grab objects.
▪ Abnormal muscle tone is tension in the muscle or
stiffness in the body.
 Babies born prematurely are most likely to
have cerebral palsy.

9.  Most people with cerebral palsy, are unable

 They use devices that helps them
communicate, or a chart with letters.
 Some with cerebral palsy that are deaf,
use sign language.

10.  Many people assume that people with disabilities
are incapable of learning, as a matter of fact they
can learn; it just takes time.
 It depends on what type of cerebral palsy you have,
to be consider an intellectual disability.
 An Intellectual disability is a disability with slow
limitations, both in intellectual functioning
and in adaptive behavior.

11.  The basics of learning for people with CP are
learning how to:
