Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Cerebral palsy

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Cerebral palsy is a disorder of movement and posture caused by damage to the motor control centers of the brain. It can affect muscle tone and interfere with voluntary movement. This can occur before birth, during the birth process, or after birth from an accident or injury. This disorder will affect all aspects of their education from assessing cognitive abilities to IEP programming. Using the information processing model will
help the teacher to determine where the problems are and then address them from that model.
The four types are spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, and mixed.
(1)Spastic cerebral palsy has abnormally high muscle tone, that increases with activity. Teachers need to be careful of quick movements or getting the student too excited that will increase their abnormally high muscle tone.
(2) Dyskinetic cerebral palsy has muscle tone that is changing constantly and involves the whole body. These students may need more technology assistance for academic and life skills.
(3) Ataxic cerebral palsy affects voluntary movement involving balance. Standing for activities may be more difficult for this student and may need assistance in this area. (4) Mixed cerebral palsy is a combination of the other three and will be different for each child.
