This event is an opportunity to understand cerebral palsy as a lifelong condition, including the consequences of aging and the associated co-morbidities. It will consider the challenges faced by the 130,000 community of adults with CP, the lack of coordinated care, and how this impacts them achieving full-life participation. It will also explore innovative solutions for a better future, using insights from professionals and patients living and working with the condition.
“You become 18 and then [all support] stops. But your Cerebral Palsy doesn’t disappear when you’re 18, but the services seem to stop.”
