They lead a mixed sort of a life, intermingled with better health and health complicated by infections, and usually survive till about 30 years. This age is not sacrosanct and individuals with better health and with freedom from infections may continue to live almost the same duration as is for a normal person.

People with cerebral palsy have the same life expenctancies as everybody else, the only thing that could deter this is if the child has other complications as well as cp. Hope this helped

My son has a mild case of CP, just his right foot, It depends on how severe and if there are any other health issues. But with all the years I've spent at Children's Hospital with my son, it was never mentioned, that CP would shorten the life spand.

CP is not a life threatening disease. But the child, depending upon how severe the symptoms are may need lifelong care. He/she could have a long life.
