What is the Cerebral Palsy Association?
Last year, by providing home and community based waiver services to 388 people with disabilities we have saved Pennsylvania an estimated 5.7 million dollars in nursing home expense.
The Cerebral Palsy Association is a non-profit agency located in Chester County, Pennsylvania. We service residents in Chester County and its surrounding areas who have disabilities. We are also known as Chester County Disability Services because we focus not only on people with cerebral palsy but a variety of physical disabilities such as spinal cord injuries, and MS. Our Children’s Early Intervention program provides comprehensive services to infant and toddlers with developmental delays. We also provide services to people with brain injury and Autism. All services assist individuals to maintain their independence in the community.
