If you missed Part 1, be sure check it out first! Swipe through to learn more about what we found in our latest published systematic review. It’s worth repeating how many gaps exist in available research for adults with cerebral palsy, and why these systematic reviews are so important.

We will use these reviews to explore existing literature, identify numerous existing gaps, set research agendas, and develop and publish clinical practice guidelines what will serve as a (very much needed!) standard of care.

"When our sweet Brady was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age 2, our world changed. At first, those words felt overwhelming—filled with fear and unknowns. But over time, we’ve come to understand that CP is only part of Brady’s story, not the whole.

This journey has brought us closer, helped us become better advocates, and connected us with an incredible community. We’ve learned to love deeper, fight harder, and see beauty in the different path we walk."

Brady's story reminds us why our mission matters at CPF, and why support and connection is so important for individuals with cerebral palsy and their families. We hope you'll keep sharing your stories with us so we can spread awareness and make a difference for everyone in our community! 💚

In 2022, over 1000 adults with CP responded to a survey used to determine the focus areas for our clinical practice guidelines. In that survey, we established gastroenterology as a priority. We also learned that 75% of adults with CP aren’t receiving the care they need (and deserve!) in this area.

We’re excited to announce that Gastroenterological disorders and hepatic disease in adults with cerebral palsy: A systematic review has been published. This team effort was lead by Dr. Christina Marciniak.

This review is a needed first step towards the publication of Medical Care of Adults Living with Cerebral Palsy: The Clinical Practice Guideline.

Over the next few weeks we will begin rolling out digital content breaking down this systematic review and what it means. In the meantime, you can access the full text at https://www.cerebralpalsygrowsup.org/cpg.

"I didn’t grow up knowing I had cerebral palsy, but I always knew some things felt harder for me. When I was diagnosed as an adult, everything finally made sense. Alongside Dyslexia, CP has shaped my life in ways I’m still learning to appreciate. What once felt like a struggle, I now see as strength. Both have taught me to be patient with myself, to adapt, and to keep going. I’ve learnt that my Dyslexia is my friend; I’m still learning to see my CP as part of who I am — not a challenge to overcome, but a reason to be proud of how far I’ve come."

Thank you, Raven, for candidly sharing how has shaped you — we're so happy you're finding reasons to be proud of yourself along the way. 🫶
