March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month! 💚

At SMILe Lab, we are dedicated to research focused on improving communication for individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP). This month, we’re sharing key facts, current research, and valuable resources to raise awareness and foster understanding of CP.

Cerebral Palsy is the most common childhood motor disability, affecting movement, posture, and coordination in different ways. While there is no cure, advancements in research, therapy, and biotechnology continue to expand opportunities to thos with CP.

Join us in our continued advocacy in recognizing the strength of the CP community! Stay tuned for more! 💚✨
