Hi I’m wondering if anyone knows anywhere - driving instructor or school that teaches people with CP to learn to drive…

    I do but unfortunately, it's not anywhere near your area so they would be of no help to you. I found this link here that may help. https://www.disabilitydrivinginstructors.com/
    you can also do a local search in your area by looking for disabled driving instructors, rather than putting in CP. There are disabled driving instructors out there that teach a wide varity of disabilities. They also have adapted vehicles too, if you don't have your own car. The only downside is that it could potentially cost a lot more than any other driving instructor.

    Hi @Smells05
    I am not aware of any driving instructors that specialise only in CP. As @poppy123456 has mentioned the instructors tend to be trained to teach disabled people more broadly. 

    There is help available from other motoring organisations:
