This document discusses teaching students with cerebral palsy. It defines cerebral palsy as a non-progressive brain condition caused by damage before, during, or after birth. There are three main types: spastic, athetoid, and ataxic. Laws like IDEA, FAPE, and NCLB require accommodating students with disabilities. The cornerstone is the IEP, which outlines a student's goals and needs. Developing an IEP requires collaboration between several parties. Providing emotional support and encouragement can help cerebral palsy students succeed.
