Resource Library
​​
​​Everyone starts somewhere. This resource library gives teenagers and young adults with CP information to stay active, build confidence, and understand their health needs. Families will find tools that make navigating healthcare and adult life a little easier. Providers can explore outside perspectives to better support patients during the transition process. These resources are meant to spark learning, encourage independence, and help you share helpful ideas with others in the CP community.
