The Calgary Cerebral Palsy Association was formed on June 13th, 1951 by a group of parents, each of whom was dealing with a similar, yet somewhat varied disability of their children who had not yet received any diagnoses. It was some time later that Canadian doctors, finally learned to recognize the traits of Cerebral Palsy. It was shortly after this, that the Calgary Cerebral Palsy Association saw the need to start some sort of treatment and support program for individuals with Cerebral Palsy.
A CP Clinic was opened in 1956 and was in operation until 1972 when it moved into Gordon Townsend School at the Alberta Children's Hospital. We also have a library within the school, run by the Family Resource Center.
