Changing What’s Possible: The Disability Innovation Podcast | Season Three

The majority of people living with cerebral palsy (CP) today are adults, and more research is finally being done to better understand the unique healthcare risks and needs of adults with CP. However, many gaps remain in both research and healthcare for adults with CP. Dr. Cristina Sarmiento is a clinician and researcher who focuses on the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare for adults with lifelong disabilities, particularly CP, with the ultimate goal of promoting overall health, well-being, and quality of life across the lifespan. 

She is part of a team of researchers investigating research priorities for adults with CP. In this episode, Cristina discusses a CPARF-funded research project she and the team are working on through a strategic partnership with the CP Research Network. This project is critical for ensuring that future research will address the needs of the CP community. Cristina is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
