The Cerebral Palsy Alliance turns 80 this year!

Please watch our lovely anniversary video about the past, the present, and the future of CPA.

“In 1945, a group of determined parents founded Cerebral Palsy Alliance, driven by a belief that there was a better future for children born with neurological and physical disabilities. Today, their passion lives on through our dedicated therapists and the relentless drive of our researchers, who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible… Because of your support, we’ve made incredible strides.
