Nice and normal time: In the absence of severe medical complications, the condition of cerebral palsy alone should not limit a nice normal life. Some patients do have epilepsy and severe swallowing difficulties that lead to aspiration. These conditions need to be treated aggressively and appropriately.

Hard to speculate: CP varies widely in its effect on a persons function. It can be so mile they never know it until they have a thorough neurologic exam, or so major they are bedridden & need total assistance. The potential would be based on their level of impairment & the access they have to good care.
