Journey with us

We’re about to embark on an incredible journey. It’s one that upon first consideration is fraught with questions and, at times, seems short on answers. The journey might also be peppered with unknowns.

But the road less traveled also has its rewards. The act of choosing paths – or navigating the one that’s been determined by unforeseen events – can be one that requires options, and resources.

At MyChild™, we’re committed to being a guidepost along the journey; we provide information about Cerebral Palsy, connect individuals with helpful resources, as well as offer unlimited support at every life stage that lies ahead, from child to senior living.

As fellow travelers, our aim is to offer information about the challenges of Cerebral Palsy while at the same time shedding light on all of the achievements – and opportunities – people with Cerebral Palsy have created.

It’s not the journey you expected, that’s a given. But, at times we find it pretty amazing, nonetheless.

Become informed

The most vital tool in the toolbox, when it comes to rearing a child with Cerebral Palsy, is not the one that is tangible – it’s information.

Information arms us with the ability to make clear, informed decisions about all aspects of a child’s life, including a child’s health, education, treatments, well-being, and more. Without a wealth of information, it’s hard to ensure a child receives all the services he or she needs and is entitled to.

From choosing healthcare services to applying for government benefits, the following pages will help parents evaluate programs of assistance.

MyChild™ provides topics from A to Z, available when you are ready. The more information that a parent has, the more informed are their decisions, and the better outcome for their child.
