About Cerebral Palsy, Inc.

About Us:

Cerebral Palsy, Inc. has been serving Northeast Wisconsin for over 54 years. While providing services to people of all ages, regardless of income or their reason for needing services, we strive to promote community involvement, inclusion and enhance the quality of life of all persons. When cost effective, innovative, quality care is needed, we are here to help. Our skilled staff is here to work with individuals and families by providing support and professional services to those who have been affected by temporary or permanent physical, sensory, and/or speech needs or conditions regardless of what brought on the need for services. Our staff is skilled in dealing with Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Spina Bifida, Arthritis, Back Pain, Post Stroke, Post Surgical, Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia, Amputees, Diabetes, Head Injury, Developmental Delays, Accident Recovery, and Sports Injury, just to name a few of the conditions.

Cerebral Palsy, Inc. is independent of any state or national organization and is governed by a 27 member volunteer board of directors made up of community professionals. Their varying backgrounds help ensure efficient and effective operations. We are a local, independent, 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. All of the money raised by our organization stays locally and is used to help persons in Northeast Wisconsin.
