Making Sense of Cerebral Palsy: An Accessible Overview

‍

My CP Guide is a web platform curated with accessible, up to date information for the different life stages of people and carers living with cerebral palsy.The organisation of resources into life stages has been very well received from users and especially from those caring for infants that have recently received a diagnosis.

There is potential to also bolster resources for other life stages and especially for those people in the older demographic. The platform and the resources are generally considered to be engaging and well designed and are accessible within a simple to navigate, clear and user friendly environment.
