Cerebral Palsy Groups

The internet allows people from all over the world to get together and discuss their common interests. I've collected a list of message groups related to cerebral palsy. Parents, caregivers, and people with cerebral palsy can find a lot of support in the groups listed below. Almost all of the links point to various Yahoo Groups, mostly because Yahoo Groups are the most widely used message groups on the internet. I've also included some Google Groups, along with Web-Ring cerebral palsy sites. If you know of one that I'm missing, don't hesitate to email me and let me know!
