Blogs about Cerebral Palsy seem to be far and few between, and the field gets narrower when it comes to those which contain valuable, insightful and useful content. My favorite blog so far that I have run into is one by Eva, a 26-year-old with CP who runs a blog called The Deal with Disability. Her approach is self-aware and she takes life with a certain amount of humor. I imagine myself reading her blog for a long time to come.

Not unlike other people, I want to experience life without limits. Of course, it helps to have a support group that understands the way it is to live your life, not unlike a close knit village. It is important both for those who have CP and those who want to know more about it to have access to proper informational resources. It is also important to have access to the right kind of products and resources that make living with a disability more manageable. It is devastating news for new parents to find out that their child has CP. It is important to help parents through the diagnosis.

In certain instances the ability to network with others who have shared similar experiences can be invaluable. It is important to unite under a common cause of communicating with one another to spread awareness about CP. Cerebral Palsy is a neurological disorder which can be difficult to understand without the right information and even so, it is imperative to distill the information into something that can be commonly understood outside the world of medical jargon.

One young British boy, Tom Rogers, explains how he is perceived by the world and seeks to prove beyond a doubt, that through his web log via youtube, he can make a positive contribution to those who do not even know him.
