About Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation

CPARF is dedicated to advancing innovation for children and adults with disabilities. CPARF invests in scientific discovery, technological development, and equity-centered initiatives that improve quality of life, treatment, and care.

  • For the CP Community: You are funding breakthroughs that directly improve quality of life, from chronic pain management and early detection to breakthrough therapies that foster lifelong independence.
  • For the Disability Community: By advocating for universal design, your support sets a higher standard for how assistive technology and everyday environments support people with disabilities. When spaces are designed to be accessible from the beginning, the responsibility shifts from people to the environment itself. It means the world adapts, not the person, and it affirms the agency, independence, and dignity that everyone deserves. 
  • For the Aging Community: Aging is a universal experience. By solving the complex needs of people as they age, including muscle preservation, neurological health, and social inclusion, CPARF is pioneering health strategies that support longevity for all aging adults.
  • For All of Us: A more inclusive world is a more dignified and robust world. By creating environments where barriers are removed and welcomes disabled people fully, we ensure society does not lose the talent, creativity, and perspective of millions of individuals whose contributions have been limited not by their abilities, but by the constraints of the world built around them.
