No cure: CP by definition is a static form of brain damage in 2-5 year olds, with little known about its main etiologic cause as well as its cure...

Cerebral palsy: CP is considered a 'static encephalopathy', meaning that it does not usually worsen with time. Unfortunately it is not curable, but physical and occupational therapies, certain medications and specialized educational programs can improve quality of life in most cases. Best wishes

No: Cerebral Palsy is the result of a brain injury either during gestation or very early in life. The is no cure but there are treatments available for the manifestations such as spasticity, movement disorders, seizures, orthopedic problems. You should talk to your pediatrician about referrals if any of these problems exist.
