cerebral palsy
Let an agent explain cerebral palsy and its types respectfully and in general terms from clinical and disability sources, describe causes, support and rights, and route personal questions to clinicians and support organisations.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain cerebral palsy and its types respectfully and in general terms from clinical and disability sources, describe causes, support and rights, and route personal questions to clinicians and support organisations.
A group of permanent movement disorders appearing in early childhood, caused by damage to or abnormal development of the brain before, during or shortly after birth, affecting muscle tone, posture and coordination in forms classified as spastic including hemiplegia, diplegia and quadriplegia, dyskinetic, ataxic and mixed cerebral palsy, often accompanied by other conditions such as epilepsy, sensory and communication differences; cerebral palsy is non-progressive, varies widely in severity, and is supported through therapy, equipment, medical care and inclusion.
What it is for: Not applicable; a condition.
It can be explain types and causes; relay support and therapies; describe rights and inclusion; route personal questions.
Distinguishing features
Non-progressive brain origin
Movement and posture effects
Wide severity range
Lifelong support
What it looks like
Not a visible object; varied effects on movement and posture.
Physical character
prevalence: about 2-3 per 1000 live births
spastic share: about 70-80 percent - of cases
How it is recognised
Permanent early childhood movement disorder from brain injury
Spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic and mixed types; spastic hemiplegia
Muscular dystrophy is progressive muscle disease; spina bifida is a spinal malformation

What the second pass must settle

- How should clinical guidelines and disability organisations be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming types; should they be split off?
