I think Natasha is right. My best friend is a PT and she worked with some CP patients when she was going for her Masters and I think all of them had it from birth. If I'm not mistaken, it mostly comes from a baby being deprived of air for too long during the birthing process.

I'm pretty sure its a type of brain damage that can only be gotten before birth, during birth or in the months after birth (like from meningitis, drowning, head injuries). But once a child gets to a certain age when they get brain damage or become an adult its usually not CP, just because of the way the brain has matured. I don't even think adults can get it, but I could be wrong. (Adults can have it, but they got it when they were itty bitty)

I know Cerebral Palsy is a condition that usually happens at birth, but since it's a neurological condition and not a disease, can it also happen at other stages in life, say if someone is in a bad car accident that affects their neural pathways, could they develop Cerebral Palsy?
