Adults with cerebral palsy (CP) in Ireland used a wide range of therapeutic, respite, personal assistance, and support services. Unmet needs were highest for physiotherapy and occupational therapy services. Adults aged 25 years and above were less likely to use therapy services compared with younger adults. Adults living with parents, siblings, or family relatives were less likely to use personal assistance and physiotherapy services.
