Its therapy teams work with individuals and families to maximise their participation in the community. Cerebral Palsy Alliance provides professional development and training for employees within the disability sector. The alliance also funds important cerebral palsy research in Australia and overseas through our Research Foundation. Cerebral Palsy Alliance operates from 55 sites throughout metropolitan, regional and rural NSW and the ACT. HistoryCerebral Palsy Alliance was founded on 30 January 1945 by a group of parents of children with cerebral palsy under the leadership of Audrie and Neil McLeod. It was the first organisation of its type in the world for people with cerebral palsy.[1] The first medical director was Dr Claudia Bradley. The Spastic Centre renamed itself the Cerebral Palsy Alliance in 2011, because of increasing sensitivities to the word "spastic".[2] Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the CPA has had to cease therapy services in one of its NSW south coast locations.[3] ServicesCerebral Palsy Alliance services include:
