American Alliance for Disabled Children PAC

Through your much-needed support. The needs of Children and Families affected by disabilities like Cerebral Palsy and Down Syndrome can be heard. Cerebral palsy refers to a group of neurological disorders that appear in infancy or early childhood and permanently affect body movement and muscle coordination Cerebral palsy (CP) is caused by damage to or abnormalities inside the developing brain that disrupt the brain’s ability to control movement and maintain posture and balance. Down Syndrome is a chromosomal condition that is associated with intellectual disability, a characteristic facial appearance, and weak muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy. All affected individuals experience cognitive delays, but the intellectual disability is usually mild to moderate. These special children and the parents and families of these children need help.

Political Advocacy by Parents of Children with Disabilities
To say that parents of children with disabilities have learned to multitask is an understatement. Providing for the many personal and care needs of your child on a daily basis can be overwhelming, but advocating for your child is a true act of love that makes the effort well worth it. Caring for your child with special needs often involves more than the daily activities of providing food and shelter. Sometimes you must aggressively advocate with legislators and others in positions of authority to do the right thing for your child and others, an activity that may take you out of your comfort zone. If you are able to become an advocate, your advocacy could make a real difference statewide or nationally for your loved one and others.
