    Hi @neece.

    As @steve51 says, it is the way of the world - it seems to be a worldwide problem, but only if you have CP.

    I know of plenty of people who had conditions from childhood and who go on to be transferred to adult services, but this is not available for people with CP

    A lot of the problems faced by disabled people are, as @steve51 says, the way of the world.  That’s why organisations like Scope  are supposed to campaign to get them changed.

    @emmaliv and I both have CP and are both incredibly frustrated by the non existent services

    @emmaliv has been very active trying to change this.  We have tried to get Scope on board but it doesn’t fit with their social agenda.  Emma’s post of 1 Oct is the most up to date and links to her petition.  If you can support us in any way, it’d be great!
