Family faces widespread issue as 97% of respondents in a Cerebral Palsy Foundation survey cite treatment regularity as a top concern
A family in Ireland is struggling to access occupational therapy and other vital services for their son, Peadar O'Boyle, who has cerebral palsy, with their last OT appointment in December 2022 and limited SLT and physio. A Cerebral Palsy Foundation survey reveals that 97% of respondents cite treatment regularity as a top concern, highlighting a widespread issue of inaccessible and delayed services. This lack of access to timely intervention is a significant concern, especially as early intervention is crucial for brain plasticity in children with CP.
