Myth 1. Vaccinations are to blame for cerebral palsy
Vaccination is not the cause illness, but can trigger its development if the child has a predisposition.

In the modern world, people with cerebral palsy can have a high quality of life, be realized, get an education, and work.
Myth 3. People with cerebral palsy are doomed to loneliness
The problem with socialization arises not because of the person with cerebral palsy himself, but because of those around him who are not ready to accept him.
