Occupations and means of living in adults with cerebral palsy or meningomyelocele during two decades in Sweden
The aim of this study was to focus on education, work and means of living during two decades in two groups of people with cerebral palsy (CP) or meningomyelocele (MMC) within the framework of social policies.

All but one subject in Group B had attended upper secondary school (1997), comp…
