Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy refers to a group of disorders that affects a person's ability to move and to maintain balance and posture. It’s a non-progressive brain abnormality, meaning it won’t get worse over time. However, the specific symptoms can change over a person's lifetime.
People with cerebral palsy have damage to the part of the brain that controls muscle tone.

Acquired Brain Injury
Just as it sounds, an acquired brain injury is the result of some kind of unnatural trauma on the brain. Sometimes – though not always – a brain injury can lead to impairment in brain functioning days, months or even years after the injury was sustained.
