…private institutions. Prevention is the only true way to overcome Cerebral Palsy. In order to prevent cerebral palsy, however, scientists must first understand the complex process of normal brain development and what can make this process go away. As researchers continue to explore new treatments for cerebral palsy and to expand our knowledge of brain development, we can expect significant medical advances to prevent Cerebral Palsy and many other disorders that strike in early life.
