Abstract
Under the auspices of the Canadian Rehabilitation Council for the Disabled, a follow-up study on young adults with cerebral palsy between the ages of 17 and 25 years was carried out by means of a questionnaire. These young adults had attended treatment centres in various parts of Canada. One hundred and seventy-six completed questionnaires were used for analysis. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the present status of these individuals in terms of competitive employment, recreational pursuits and residence. At the time of the survey, 50 of these subjects were engaged in competitive employment or were considered to be potentially employable. The detailed findings of this study are compared with those of other surveys, and factors influencing the potential of disabled persons are reviewed.
