Cerebral Palsy of Westchester

Since 1949, Cerebral Palsy of Westchester has been the leading non-profit organization in Westchester County, providing essential educational services, direct services, vocational training, recreation, rehabilitation and advocacy to children and adults with all developmental disabilities including autism, neurological impairments, intellectual disabilities, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Our mission is to advance the independence, productivity, and full citizenship of people with Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities. We believe and advocate that all children and adults with disabilities have a fundamental right to public education that prepares them to function as independently as possible. Each child with a disability is entitled to the opportunity to live and grow within their family, and that advocacy and service must be truly family-centered, rather than focused exclusively on the individual. People with disabilities have the right, desire and ability to shape their own destinies and should, therefore, be active participants in the decisions that directly affect their lives. People with disabilities deserve the right to choose and to participate in lifestyles that enable them to live and contribute to their own communities to the fullest extent possible.
