• Cerebral Palsy – impairment of muscle coordination (spastic paralysis) and/or other disabilities, typically caused by damage to the brain before or at birth.
• Down Syndrome – a congenital disorder arising from a chromosome defect, causing intellectual impairment and physical abnormalities including short stature and a broad facial profile.
