during1 or shortly after birth1 or      
during infancy2 ,whereas the majority of
 children who have cerebral palsy are   
born with the disorder1 although

#a or more developmental disabilities1

breakthroughs in cerebral palsy research
 will be forthcoming2 ,whereas          
researchers across the ,united ,states
