My daughter is 43 with CP and learning disability. She has lived alone with regular 5 day support. Always able to get out and about on her own locally, but now her CP is making her life more difficult. If we go to the GP she will just increase the medication. Where and how do we get more specialist advice about Cerebal Palsy.
