Cerebral palsy

Specialist care for cerebral palsy

At Trinity, we know that living with cerebral palsy just means you need to find a different way to have the same adventures in life. We’re passionate about giving people with cerebral palsy the same opportunities as an able bodied person.  That’s why all of our carers have a “can do” approach to life.

“I’ve been to more countries than most of my friends. My mum always told me to live a big life – and that’s what I have.”

Sarah Henly, 40-year-old with cerebral palsy, who lives with Trinity carer Sarah Brown

Our carers who work with cerebral palsy are all trained to understand the condition and appreciate the full range of symptoms – from tight, painful or changing muscle tone to spatial awareness and any any associated problems, such as learning difficulties,  epilepsy, or difficulties with sleep, eating or communication. We know just how important it is for anyone caring for you to have a full understanding of you and your unique situation.
