March 2026 is the 20th Anniversary of Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month💚

Cerebral palsy is the most common lifelong physical disability in the world — affecting more than 1 million Americans and an estimated more than 50 million people globally.

This year is especially meaningful: March 25, 2026 marks 20 years since Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day was established by families in the CP Community who wanted to change the future of cerebral palsy. What began as a way to increase awareness and visibility has grown into a global movement for action through .

All March long, we’ll share a bit about the history behind the big day, the latest information, community stories, and what families are experiencing. And we’re taking that message to Washington, D.C. this month, advocating for increased cerebral palsy research investment, better healthcare, and policies that improve outcomes across the lifespan.

We encourage you to wear green on March 25th and tag us on Instagram so we can see and share your posts! Stay with us as we honor 20 years and push even harder for what comes next to improve quality of life for all of us. 💚

Today is Rare Disease Day. Many individuals with CP live with multiple co-occurring conditions, and some of those diagnoses are rare.

Recognizing this complexity matters. Families deserve research, healthcare systems, and policies that see the full picture.

As we head into Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month tomorrow, we’re reminded that awareness starts with listening to the real and incredibly diverse experiences of our community.

To close out Low Vision Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the connection between cerebral visual impairment (CVI) and cerebral palsy.

Many children with CP also have CVI. Research shows that while CVI may remain present over time, specific visual skills can improve as children grow.

"Cerebral palsy is a struggle and it's hard to adapt to. But I keep pressing forward, one foot in front of the other."

We know that adapting to life with a disability takes time, and we're grateful to people like Alison who share their stories with us so others feel less alone. 💚

We understand that getting the right diagnosis can be challenging. There are many obstacles along the way, and sometimes a secondary diagnosis isn’t immediately recognized.

In "Learning to see," Jennifer Lyman, our Director of Clinical Recruitment and Community Resources, shares her journey with her son Bower, who has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and CVI. She offers guidance and encouragement for families navigating similar experiences.
