Based on nine in-depth modules, this course guides learners through key aspects of cerebral palsy:

• Module 1 introduces the condition, its impact on movement and coordination, and how it varies in severity.
• Module 2 outlines known causes, such as prenatal infections, birth complications, and genetic issues, and explains common symptoms.
• Module 3 presents data on prevalence, trends, and how rates may vary based on region, gender, or medical access.
• Module 4 breaks down the steps in diagnosing CP through motor assessments, brain scans, and clinical history reviews.
• Module 5 covers treatment principles, including medications, interventions, and assistive technologies aimed at improving mobility and communication.
• Module 6 focuses on occupational and physical therapies used in rehabilitation to support daily activities and mobility.
• Module 7 guides learners on creating effective, individualised care plans involving therapists, doctors, and family members.
• Module 8 compares development stages of children with and without CP, helping professionals assess developmental delays and set appropriate goals.
• Module 9 emphasises collaboration between the child, family, and therapist to build trust and support continuous progress.

This course prepares learners to work alongside children, caregivers, and multi-disciplinary teams to improve outcomes and create inclusive, supportive environments.
