,mr4 ,casey1 and ,ms4 ,hassan7 submitted
 the following resolution2 which was    
considered and agreed to  ,,resolution  
,designating ,march #be1 #bjai1 as      
,national ,cerebral ,palsy ,awareness   
,day4  ,whereas a group of permanent    
disorders of the development of movement
 and posture that are attributed to     
nonprogressive disturbances that occur  
in the developing brain is referred to  
as cerebral palsy2 ,whereas cerebral    
palsy1 the most common motor disability 
in children1 is caused by damage to #a  
or more specific areas of the developing
 brain1 which usually occurs during     
fetal development before1 during1 or    
after birth2 ,whereas the majority of   
children who have cerebral palsy are    
born with cerebral palsy1 but cerebral  
palsy may be undetected for months or   
years2 ,whereas #ge percent of          

individuals with cerebral palsy also    
have #a or more developmental           
disabilities1 including epilepsy1       
intellectual disability1 autism1 visual 
impairment1 or blindness2 ,whereas1     
according to information released by the
 ,centers for ,disease ,control and     
,prevention-- 7#a7 the prevalence of    
cerebral palsy is not changing over     
time2 and  7#b7 an estimated #a in #cbc 
children has cerebral palsy2  ,whereas  
approximately #gfd1jjj individuals in   
the ,united ,states are affected by     
cerebral palsy2 ,whereas1 although there
 is no cure for cerebral palsy1         
treatment often improves the            
capabilities of a child with cerebral   
palsy2 ,whereas scientists and          
researchers are hopeful for             
breakthroughs in cerebral palsy         
research2 ,whereas researchers across   
the ,united ,states conduct important   
research projects involving cerebral    
palsy2 and ,whereas the ,senate can     
raise awareness of cerebral palsy in the

 public and the medical community3 ,now1
 therefore1 be it  ,that the ,senate--  
7#a7 designates ,march #be1 #bjai1 as   
,national ,cerebral ,palsy ,awareness   
,day2 and  7#b7 encourages each         
individual in the ,united ,states to    
become better informed about and aware  
of cerebral palsy4
