This research from the Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology (DMCN) journal, examines the experiences and perspectives of young adults with cerebral palsy and their caregivers, focusing on their views of paediatric rehabilitation care and the perceived barriers and facilitators to successful transition into adult services.

Patients with childhood-onset disabilities often encounter significant barriers when transitioning from paediatric to adult rehabilitation care, highlighting the need for better guidance and coordination during this process. Poorly managed transitions have been associated with deteriorating health, reduced quality of life, inappropriate reliance on emergency services, and increased hospitalisations.
