Growing up with Neurodisability 

Exploring care, research, and real experiences at every stage of life

When many people think about neurodisability, they think about childhood. Yet for thousands of people in Ireland, including those living with cerebral palsy, neurodisability is a lifelong experience that shapes education, work, relationships, family life and ageing.

In this MyHealth RCSI episode, we'll bring together people with lived experience, family members, researchers and clinical experts to explore what it means to live well with neurodisability across the lifespan.

We'll discuss the latest research on growing older with neurodisability, practical strategies for managing physical and mental well-being, and how care and support needs can evolve over time. 

Through personal stories and expert insights, we'll explore how people with neurodisabilities can live well and thrive at every stage of life.
