Few data are available in the literature on cognitive impairment in adults with cerebral palsy. The aim of this work is to analyze the cognitive profile of adults with moderate impairment and their repercussions on educational and socio-professional pathways.

The records of 36 patients were analyzed. Eleven people have the college certificate, 13 the baccalaureate and 12 a level of 2 years after the baccalaureate. Twenty-two are inactive, 8 have part-time work, 3 are full-time, 3 are still in school. All benefited from a complete neuropsychological assessment. The scores of the different tests were analyzed according to schooling and socio-professional background.

Thirty-six patients were included with an average age of 27.8±8 years, 83% are single. The PC is bilateral spastic in 27 cases, spastic unilateral in 5 cases and dyskinetic in 4 cases.

Visuoperceptive disorders are the most frequent, with a significant impact on schooling and professional integration. Executive disorders is also observed, the intelligence quotient is within the limit of normal.

Cognitive disorders presented by the patients in our study are consistent with those described in the literature in adult cerebral palsy with a predominance of visuoperceptive disorders, associated with executive disorders. These disorders have repercussions on schooling and professional integration. Routine screening of cognitive disorders must allow the establishment of a specific support at the time of transition. The accompaniment of adolescents with cerebral palsy should continue after the acquisition of diploma to promote their social and professional integrations.
