Key Points

  • The research aims to evaluate the transition readiness of individuals with cerebral palsy as they approach adulthood.
  • Qualitative descriptive study design
  • Assessment of transition readiness in individuals with cerebral palsy
  • Evaluation of varying support needs and caregiver roles

Abstract

Assessing transition readiness is an important part of the transition to adulthood. Individuals with CP have a wide range of abilities that may not be adequately captured by TRAQ. A CP-specific tool should be sure to distinguish between these varied abilities and clearly delineate the caregiver role for young people with varying levels of support needs.
