The experience of cerebral palsy stigma amongst adults living in the UK and Ireland: A qualitative co-designed project

Results indicate that CP is linked to experiences of stigma and discrimination which arise from a lack of understanding of the heterogeneity of CP, a public lack of awareness of how to communicate with people with disabilities, inaccessible environments and negative societal attitudes towards visible impairments. Suggested ways to tackle these issues include improving understanding of CP and removing barriers to accessibility.
