Early intervention can be life-changing for children with disabilities, especially those with physical challenges such as cerebral palsy.
Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed-CRP program supports children with cerebral palsy caused by brain injury before or shortly after birth. Very early intervention is critical and can make a lasting difference to both the children and their families.
Together, we are helping create better futures.
