cerebral palsy

"It was a stark reminder that my cerebral palsy makes me stand out, and is often used as a weapon against me."

The injury can affect the brain's ability to communicate with the body, leading to conditions such as epilepsy, which causes seizures, or cerebral palsy, which affects movement and coordination.

Mr. Davenport, who makes films “about disability” according to his website, also makes them from the perspective of the disabled—he has cerebral palsy and often uses a wheelchair.

Meanwhile Billy, 23, who has cerebral palsy, had to fight two tribunals challenging his local authority to fund his place at National Star.

Born with cerebral palsy, he had tried other sports like table tennis and basketball but for him wheelchair rugby was a natural fit.
