About CPARF

We are redefining what's possible for children and adults with disabilities worldwide.

Since CP is such a diverse condition, presenting in countless ways with co-occurring conditions, the potential broad implications are endless.

Our Work

CPARF plays a pivotal role in this mission by funding the brightest minds to accelerate scientific innovation. Our work is about redefining what is possible for people across the lifespan. 

For the CP Community

 CPARF focuses on breakthroughs that directly improve quality of life, from chronic pain management to early detection and innovative therapies that foster independence.
 

For the Disability Community

By advocating for universal design and technological accessibility, CPARF’s work sets a standard for how we integrate assistive technology into everyday life, benefiting anyone with a mobility or neurological disability. 


For the Aging Community

Aging is a universal experience. The research CPARF supports regarding mobility, muscle preservation, and neurological health offers insights that benefit everyone. By solving for the complex physical needs of people with CP as they age, CPARF helps pioneer health strategies and adaptive technologies that support longevity and independence for all seniors. 


For Society as a Whole

A more inclusive world is a more robust world. When CPARF funds research that removes barriers to everyday life, it ensures that society doesn't miss out on the talent and perspective of millions of individuals, while fostering a culture that values every stage of human life. 

Why Our Work Matters

The world wasn't built for people with disabilities, but we know it can and should be. 

Prevention initiatives are improving outcomes for high-risk pregnancies, new therapies and technologies are helping people achieve milestones once thought impossible, and families are empowered with better tools and resources.  

Every dollar raised fuels progress in these areas, and every person who joins our community helps accelerate the pace of change. Together, we’re not just imagining a better future for children and adults with disabilities — we’re creating it.
