Transition to adulthood: Perspectives from young people with cerebral palsy, parents, and health professionals

Listen to this summary

This study investigates the transition to adulthood for young people with cerebral palsy (CP) by gathering insights from the young individuals themselves, their parents, and health professionals. The authors aim to understand the dynamics of autonomy and the various transitions these young people face, highlighting the need for holistic support that fosters communication and shared decision-making among all parties involved. The findings suggest that effective transition support should address not only service coordination but also the relational aspects that influence young people's engagement and preparedness for adult health services.
