A conference for adults with CP will discuss the steps that adults can take 
in order to stay out of a nursing.  These steps include effective 
management of PCA's and things less obvious such as learning how to manage 
incontinence.  Surprisingly enough, some care givers view incontinence as a 
sign that community living is no longer possible for the adult who has 
managed to cope with other problems.  In other words, incontinence is the 
last straw.  For more on the conference, go to
