Justification of the project
Cerebral palsy is a complex of disorders associated with damage to one or more parts of the brain. The structure of such a brain is abnormal, and as a result, the organ cannot develop correctly. Depending on the affected area, a person has one or another disorder — the development of motor and muscular activity, coordination of movements, functions of vision, hearing, speech, and psyche.
According to newtimes.kz in 2018, 16 thousand 768 children had cerebral palsy. These are only those who are registered. The President of the country instructed to develop measures to improve medical and social support for boys and girls with special needs. In his message, he noted that over 58 billion tenge will be allocated for their support.
