Ingrid needed some extra support when she turned 18 – something that is not uncommon in the disability sector once young adults with Cerebral Palsy reach young adulthood. This stage of life has its own new set of unique life challenges.

Ingrid and her mum reached out to CPSN and we found a purposefully matched support worker to assist her with specific tasks that were crucial to her mental health and physical well-being.

Simone is a fiercely independent and proud wheelchair user. For Disability Pride Month, we are sharing Simone's story on how she breaks down the stigma of being a wheelchair user for children by making it less confronting.

“I don’t let my wheelchair define me. When I speak to younger children, I want them to not be afraid of the chair, to break down that physical barrier”

Our CPSN staff love sharing knowledge and information sharing with each other and our community. Our Marketing Officer, Alison, recently discovered a unique car parking hack or tip thats worth keeping in mind next time you go shopping to allow you a little extra room for easier entry and exits to your car, especially if accessible spaces are all occupied.

Look for a big pole or an area near a fire hydrant or hose area where you can add an extra few centimetres to your car’s surroundings.
