This article outlines the service and cost consequences of supporting a nationally representative sample of young adults with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Most of the young adults in the sample live at home. A small number of study members, however, make intensive use of expensive, often segregated facilities such as residential homes or schools and make considerable use of other support services. In total, this group of 81 people cost just over one million pounds to support during the year prior to interview, 43 percent of which was related to their impairments.
