50 millon
a new global estimate
Through our partnership with CP360, we're accelerating global action for the 50 million people with cerebral palsy and their families around the world.
4,000
healthcare providers trained
Through standardized early detection pathways in hospitals and clinics across 25+ states and 6 countries, we're detecting CP sooner and helping families access vital treatment to improve outcomes.
50,000
infants screened annually
Through partnerships with NICUs, high-risk infant follow-up programs, and pediatric clinics, we’re enabling the early use of tools like the HINE, GMA, and MRI to diagnose cerebral palsy before 12 months of age.
Our mission
Is to be a catalyst for creating positive change for people with cerebral palsy.
The Cerebral Palsy Foundation exists to improve the lives of people living with cerebral palsy, prevent cerebral palsy in the future where possible, and build pathways to a cure. Learn more at cerebralpalsyfoundation.org
