one by one®: Cerebral Palsy Alberta
Cerebral Palsy Alberta, an affiliate of the international organization United Cerebral Palsy, is a nonprofit that supports individuals with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. The organization’s mission is to improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities in Alberta. Cerebral Palsy Alberta accomplishes this through a variety of programs and services, and it also collaborates with other groups to promote awareness, acceptance and understanding to help the individuals it serves live, learn and work in their communities.
In 1976, the organization was founded by a family with a child who had cerebral palsy and few avenues for support. Cerebral palsy is used to describe a group of conditions affecting body movement and muscle coordination. There are several types of cerebral palsy, and it develops in an estimated three out of every 1,000 children.
