Educate Our State

HistoryThe roots of the CP Center go back to 1939 when few services were available for children with cerebral palsy. A small group of parents founded the Spastic Children's Society of Alameda County to provide specialized services to children with disabilities, to educate families and to heighten public awareness about developmental disabilities. The Society became the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Alameda County in 1949 when it joined the national organization for cerebral palsy. The agency was renamed the Cerebral Palsy Center for the Bay Area, Inc. in 1969 when it withdrew from the United Cerebral Palsy Association so that it would have a greater voice in matters of fundraising and use of resources and services.SpecialtiesIn a learning center where innovation, aspiration, and community intersect to enrich quality of life, the Cerebral Palsy Center of the Bay Area offers adults with developmental disabilities the most comprehensive and cutting edge services available. Our unique programs and services are designed to increase the involvement of our participants in their communities, expand their skills, improve their health and wellness, and promote self-advocacy and self-sufficiency.
