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.
