Episode *: "Not One Size Fits All- A Conversation with Andrea on the Spectrum of CP"

Episode *: "Not One Size Fits All- A Conversation with Andrea on the Spectrum of CP"

In this powerful episode of PT Confessionals, Wes and Corinne welcome special guest Andrea, a fierce advocate and insightful voice in the disability community, for a deep and nuanced conversation about the different types of cerebral palsy—and how no two experiences are ever the same.


Andrea shares her personal journey living with a different form of CP than Wes, and the three dive into the complexity and misconceptions that surround the condition. From spastic to athetoid to ataxic CP, they break down the medical definitions—but more importantly, they focus on what those diagnoses mean in real life: how they affect mobility, speech, independence, and how people are treated by the world around them.


This episode isn’t about comparison—it’s about understanding. Wes and Andrea talk openly about the similarities and differences in their day-to-day lives, their relationships with therapy, and how disability shows up in public spaces, friendships, and self-image. Corinne provides a clinical perspective, explaining how therapists approach different forms of CP while emphasizing the importance of patient-centered care and avoiding one-size-fits-all thinking.


The conversation is candid, emotional, and educational. Whether you have CP, know someone who does, or just want to understand it better, this episode is your invitation to see cerebral palsy as a spectrum, not a single story.
