Hi @neece welcome to the community, I have moved your post to the CP category so you can chat with others about these issues

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!
