Vocational training for people with cerebral palsy

Vocational training helps people choose and learn work that suits their skills and interests. Programs are available through local school districts and the department of education in each state.

Vocational training can benefit teens and adults with cerebral palsy by helping them:

  • Identify their strengths, interests, and physical skills.
  • Train for a particular job.
  • Prepare for work in many different areas, such as in offices, restaurants, hospitals, stores, or factories.
