No CP is not contagious. It is a brain defect, usually from being deprived of oxygen at birth. There are other causes also. For my son it was a chemical I was around when his brain developed. CP does not affect everyone the same, it affects different parts of the brain, it affects muscles. My son has too much muscle tone. If there is anything else I can explain to you, please ask. It is not contagious and those people could sure use your help.

No - cerebral palsy is not contagious and will not spread from one person to another. However some causes of CP tend to be genetically determined and so there is a chance that another kid in the same palsy can have it. But this is genetically determined and not contagious.
