5-year-old Arlo was born via an emergency c-section and had seizures in the first few days of his life. 6 months later, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Mum Christine told us, “It’s like he is locked in this body that doesn’t allow him to move”. Arlo attends sessions at Cerebral Palsy Scotland, and recently attended our communication group. “If Cerebral Palsy Scotland didn’t exist there would be limited support” says Christine.
