How long has the CP Center been in existence?
The Center's roots go back to 1939 when a small group of parents founded the Spastic Children's Society of Alameda Country to provide specialized services to children with cerebral palsy and increase awareness of this disorder. The name was changed to the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Alameda County in 1949 and then the Cerebral Palsy Center for the Bay Area in 1969.
