Stepping Up, Pushing Limits, Breaking Barriers for CP and Beyond
Disability is a natural part of the human experience and it touches more lives than you might think. In the U.S., more than 61 million adults — that’s 1 in 4 of us — report having at least one disability.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common lifelong physical disability, affecting 18 million people worldwide. Yet research into its causes and treatments is among the most underfunded in medicine. CPARF funds early-stage research that meets the needs of people with CP and related conditions at every age and stage of life. These discoveries make a real difference.
Because CP is a dynamic diagnosis that affects each person differently, CPARF's programs have far-reaching impact. They help inform care for other disabilities, our aging population, and society as a whole.
There's an equal and urgent need for innovative solutions that can bridge gaps across all parts of life, helping everyone participate fully and vibrantly in their communities and pursue their dreams.
That’s where assistive technology (AT) comes in. AT can improve access to learning, working, connection, and healthcare. It helps people live more independently and engage fully in daily life.
