October 6 is World Cerebral Palsy Day! 
Did you know that there are 17 million people across the world living with cerebral palsy and another 350 million people who are closely connected to a child or adult with Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy is the most common physical disability in childhood, and it is a permanent disability that affects movement. Its impact can range from a weakness in one hand, to almost a complete lack of voluntary movement.

Cerebral Palsy is a complex disability:
1 in 4 children with Cerebral Palsy cannot talk,
1 in 4 cannot walk,
1 in 2 have an intellectual disability,
1 in 4 have epilepsy.
* CP is a lifelong disability and there is no known cure.

People with cerebral palsy have mastered dealing with change, breaking down barriers, and coming up with creative solutions their whole lives.
There are over 1 billion people around the world who live with a disability. Yet we still navigate a world that is not designed to be accessible.

This World Cerebral Palsy Day, we are on the search to find the next breakthrough in accessible technology and there is no one is better to help us than the cerebral palsy community, made up of millions of individuals with creative ideas and lived experience.

We’re calling on all people with cerebral palsy, friends, family and supporters to share your boldest accessible technology ideas. Every submission has a chance to win $5,000 USD. The ideas will be voted and shortlisted by the community in the lead up to World Cerebral Palsy Day.
