CP Terminoloogy

[Sturge]

I am confused with certain terminology I have seen in postings, having to do
with degrees of cp. Is there anyplace that has a glossary of these? Since
I have never been watched/tracked/whatever by professionals (other than a
two week stay at Boston Children's Hospital when I was younger than 10) and
have lived my life in the main stream of society, I am at a complete loss at
understanding these terms.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
