Mission of Service Excellence
Our mission is to positively affect the quality of
life for persons with cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities.
History of Growth and Leadership
Little was known about cerebral palsy in 1946 and little hope was offered
to parents of children with CP except, perhaps to, "find a good institution
and get on with your lives." Love and courage prevailed, and six parents
with both will and spirit reached out to everyone who would lend support
to their cause--to change the destiny of children and adults with disabilities.
Today, thanks to the efforts of those six parents,
more than 7,000 children and adults with cerebral palsy and other disabilities
in the five-county Philadelphia area have access to services and programs
to help them become independent and productive members of the community.
These programs and services are geared to encourage persons with disabilities
to reach their potential, challenge their limitations, and function with
dignity.
