Supporting your health and health care decisions
Living with cerebral palsy (CP) means your health and support needs can change over time. Regular health checks are important throughout adulthood.
Your Cerebral Palsy Health Checklist was co-designed by adults with CP, family members, supporters and health professionals. It can help you make informed decisions about your health and healthcare.
