Cerebral Palsy Center for fhe Bay Area is a member of the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. |
| The roots of the Cerebral Palsy Center go back to 1939 when few services were available for children with cerebral palsy. A small group of parents founded the Spastic Children's Society of Alameda County to provide specialized services to children with disabilities, to educate families and to heighten public awareness about developmental disabilities. The Society became the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Alameda County in 1949 when it joined the national organization for cerebral palsy.
The agency was renamed the Cerebral Palsy Center for the Bay Area, Inc. in 1969 when it withdrew from the United Cerebral Palsy Association to provide more say in matters of fund raising, resources and services. Today the Center offers a wide-range of services and programs to adults with disabilities through our Adult Development Center and Work Activity Program. The Center's activities concentrate on six skill areas: self-advocacy, vocational training, community integration, augmentative communication, independent living skills and recreation. Programs operate from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday | ||
