A person with cerebral palsy has to cope with disabilities
and handicaps. A disability is a physical loss of function such as being
unable to walk, having difficulty with hand control or speech. A handicap
is the degree to which that disability puts you at a disadvantage in
daily life. For instance, someone who is very short-sighted may be considered
to have a disability, but she is unlikely to consider this a handicap
if she has corrective lenses. A disability may prevent someone with
CP from climbing stairs, but this will only be a handicap if the building
she wants to enter is not wheelchair accessible.
