An injury to nerves in the neck that control the shoulder, arm, hand and finger movement. This injury may also be known as Erb's Palsy, Duchenne's Palsy or Klumpke's Palsy.

Cerebral palsy refers to any one of a number of neurological or movement disorders that do not worsen over time but do permanently affect body movement and muscle control. The disorders appear in infancy or early childhood. Although cerebral palsy affects muscle movement, it is caused by abnormalities in parts of the brain and/or spinal cord that control motor movement.

Neuromuscular disease encompasses many diseases and conditions that impair the functioning of the muscles, either directly, or indirectly, due to pathologies of nerves or at their neuromuscular junctions.

Examples of learning disorders are dyslexia, expressive language disorder, receptive language disorder, visual processing disorder, dysgraphia and auditory processing disorders.
