C-PALSY is for discussions by, for, about, touches, or smells
of Cerebral Palsy - a pretty broad remit.
CPParent is primarily aimed for discussions among parents of
those with Cerebral Palsy.
There is quite a bit of crossover between the two and there are
quite a few who belong to both. Since C-Palsy has such a broad
spectrum of members it is sometimes difficult to predict in which
direction a particular thread will go!! ;-)
