It is sad that people automatically assume because a person has a physical disability that their cognitive abilities are also affected. Sadly, over half of the CP population has a perfectly intelligent brain trapped inside a body that just won't cooperate with their brain. I have a friend with CP that affects her walking and her speech (making it slower and she is prone to pausing between words) but her intelligence is above average. She went to college and grad school. She has a husband and a son. But, when people hear her speak or see her walk, they automatically start speaking slower or even louder (as if that makes sense) until she ensures them that she can understand them just fine. It drives me nuts, but she is so patient with people.

Kat dolphinwhat but cp is a general term. There are a lot of different forms of cp. My sister has peri-ventricular lucomalaysia, I don't know if that's the right way to spell it but it basically means the white brain matter around a certain part of her brain is damaged which results in her inability to straightener her legs and walk without assistance.

Kayla G I know. Sometimes it can be bothering. Thankfully I was blessed enough to not have it that bad. It affects my legs and makes it hard for me to walk and it affects my hands but like it was worse with my hands when i was little but now they're almost like normal and I'm in gate classes.

to everyone who is confused, Cerebral Palsy rarely ever effects mental function. a person with the condition can have children, a job, and speak normally. Mackenzie had an extreme case but she is not intellectually challenged, as you can probably tell from her conversations. do not assume she isn't mentally sound because her body is different than yours.

Can't believe that she didn't get cred for doing the speech. She probably put a lot more effort into it than any other student in her class did - and she had to do it twice, yet no cred? I really hope she is strong and determined enough to go forward with this, because someone who is in a high position should look at it and say "hey this is crazy, of course you should have your creds for this speech". The fault that it didn't work out weren't hers so she shouldn't be punished for it. I don't have any physical disability but would love to get to know all kinds of people, including those with for example Mackenzie's condition. I believe getting to know different people and see their view of life and how they are as a person makes you much richer as a person and it would be amazing if I ever got the opportunity to be a "normal" friend to anyone who would want that really.

This is such an inspiration! It proves to the world that disabled people are capable of much more! It's shows how much more strength that they have mentally and physically as opposed to people with no disability! I believe that they are stronger than I in so many ways because they go through much more than I could! Maybe sometimes when they want to speak they have a hard time to express it. I think that we all take some things for granted like speaking and being able to express how we feel when some people have it rough to speak out!

What an inspiring, beautiful, intelligent young lady. Wish you all the best at university. 💕

You can easily see that she's a really beautiful person, inside and outside. If I were to live in her town I would love to be her friend, I think I would learn a lot from her.

I wish they would have asked what she wants to do for her career. I wonder if them taking 9 months to diagnose her made her condition be worse. The sooner it is diagnosed the sooner she could have started treatment. Her parents are great. Doing little but huge things like letting her make all the choices she can because they know she has so few choices.

There isn't much treatment for CP except physical therapy... which has mixed results. So her diagnosis at 9 months isn't actually that big a deal. People who have less severe CP sometimes aren't diagnosed until they're in grade school actually. I would like to know what she wants to do for her career as well.

I know they can't reverse CP.. but her mother commented they wish she had more use of her arms. It made me wonder if they felt if they had known sooner they could have started pt sooner.

brendalg4 my sister wasn't diagnosed till she was 1 cause they were hoping the healthy part of her brain would replace the damaged part. They did surgery on my sister and pt but it didn't do much, her muscles are still really tight, she's also had Botox injections to try relax her muscles.

many times with medical conditions the sooner they know about it the sooner treatment can start and the outcome will be better than if treatment started later

Mckenzie is so lovely. I was livid when I saw they failed her speech.

What an inspiring and beautiful young lady! Thank you for sharing this story! I love how hard she works at everything, keeping a positive attitude and always ready to smile and laugh. She makes me feel ashamed of some of the dumb, small things I complain about sometimes. When she smiles that beautiful smile she just has this inner light that shines through her. I pray she can achieve all that she wants to. She is a fighter and I believe she can do anything she wants to:)

I would be her friend in a heartbeat😭😭

Me too, but, I'm much older than she is, I'm almost 32

This girl does more with her life then I do & I am somewhat healthy. She inspires me a lot!!! Just WOW!

Some institutions are so horrible. My sister in law has two severely disabled children that are both very intelligent but cannot talk. She had to fight to get their medical and educational needs met. I truly hope you win this battle.

She is a wonderful, bright and strong young woman. Go girlfriend. Don't take no shizzle from anyone. Those idiots at the school would fail Stephen Hawking!! That kind of discrimination makes my blood boil. I have a physical disability and I would never accept that treatment. I am glad her parents fight it but they need to stop expecting "normies" to apologize and fix things just because they ask. Don't mess around with the niceties... get on the media and scream blue murder about the (lack-of)-education system. Would you want your kid attending a school that openly taught kids that equality is too much trouble? Just stop ever expecting normies to understand, get in their face until they figure it out.
