CerebralPalsy.org Emphasizes Accessibility with Major Website Redesign

    NOVI, MI, March 16, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- MyChild at CerebralPalsy.org announced Wednesday that its website has been completely revamped. Combining a clean, crisp design with the expansive library of online content that has made CerebralPalsy.org the foremost informational source and support network for children with cerebral palsy (CP) and their families, the new website is an accessible, engaging destination with a host of features designed to meet the needs of any visitor, including the ability to translate the site into over 50 languages.

"While CerebralPalsy.org has been a leading source of information on CP, we felt it was missing important perspectives regarding the parent experience," said Kenneth Stern, founder and chief executive officer of MyChild. "As a result, we redeveloped the site to include a forum and blog to better connect our community with the things they need."

"Cerebral palsy is not a sterile diagnosis but, instead, an everyday part of the lives of too many families," he continued. "We see the new CerebralPalsy.org as a way to approach a wide range of parenting topics, with perspectives from advocates, medical experts, product and service providers and, most importantly, parents of children with cerebral palsy."

The CerebralPalsy.org forum is a venue to discuss the CP journey and share common experiences, including stages of the condition, health and lifestyle effects and more. The forum also hosts an "Inspirational" section where parents can share positive updates such as touching stories and everyday victories with their own special child.

The blog on CerebralPalsy.org is frequently updated with new posts discussing a variety of issues faced by children with CP as well as parents, caregivers and other people affected by the condition.

"Within our blog you'll find a wide range of content, ranging from explanations of the science of cerebral palsy to advocacy building, available resources, CP topics in the news and more," Stern said. "Our goal is to bolster the wealth of information we have on our website with a 360 approach to the various elements CP brings to people's lives."

The new Web design provides intuitive access to all areas of CerebralPalsy.org while emphasizing the human side of the CP journey through striking visuals.

"The redesign also involved the inclusion of big, clear visuals that speak to the human experience," Stern said. "Rather than being a sterile encyclopedia of all things cerebral palsy, we wanted our site to be warm, welcoming and a place people could lose themselves in while learning more about their child's condition."
