For years, persons with Cerebral Palsy (PWCP) in Bundibugyo have been marginalized both in their communities and in the disability movement, partially due to limited awareness on Cerebral Palsy (CP) as a disability with its own causes and effects. Because PWCP manifest many different forms of functional limitations (e.g., challenges related to walking and/or speech), and feeding by themselves they tend to be categorized under other disabilities.
