Adults with cerebral palsy in Ireland face a lifelong battle for support
But the truth is that while cerebral palsy, or CP, starts in childhood it is a lifelong impairment that affects a person’s movement at any age. To make things worse they face a lack of co-ordinated services and encounter healthcare workers in Ireland who do not understand the unique and changing needs of adults with CP. Our research showed that 23 per cent of adults with CP in Ireland report that they don’t receive the physiotherapy they need. As it is my whole life has been turned upside down.”We know from our research that adults with CP face particular health challenges with ageing. The research also shows that many adults with CP fall very frequently, which can have a serious impact on their lives.
