Can people with cerebral palsy have kids?
There is currently no evidence to suggest that cerebral palsy affects fertility. Research suggests cerebral palsy is inherited in only a very small percentage of cases and there are normally other additional social or cultural factors. The risk of a mother or father with cerebral palsy having a child with cerebral palsy is generally not significantly different from that of any other person.

How do you know when a child with cerebral pasly is hungry?
I have cerebral palsy. There are many different severities of cerebral palsy. I am able to speak, walk, and do many other things that a lot of kids with CP cannot do. But to answer your question, there are many ways. If you have a child with CP that doesn't communicate through speech, then you and the child could create a variety of signs, for instance, if the child is hungry, they could pat their stomach. Some severities would scream. then you could ask the child, "Are you hungry?" If they cant speak, then you could formulate a system where yes is one blink and no is two, or shaking the head is yes, and blinking is no. Some children with CP may want to have a computer to communicate.
