THIS WORKING group focused on the realities of life for young people with cerebral palsy and spina bifida; the group's recommendations were therefore developed with the demands and limits of the real world in mind. The group first produced a list of conditions associated with cerebral palsy and spina bifida; these are called secondary conditions. The group then arranged these under three headings-physical, psychological, and social.
