The Cerebral Palsy Center provides specialized programs and facilities for PreschoolChildren, Elementary School Students, High School Students, and Adults.

Our Main Avenue location houses our administrative offices, pre-school program, and elementary school.

The pre-school program features an exceptional educational and therapeutic team approach that best serves young children with various developmental abilities. Three to five year olds can attend either morning, afternoon or full day sessions Monday through Friday. The team works closely with parents, physicians, specialists, and child study teams in order to best meet the children's individual needs. As the students reach age five, they are then moved to an elementary classroom.

The elementary school program includes students ages five through twelve, who have various developmental abilities, that warrant the need for special education, speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy. The special abilities of our students vary, ranging from minimal to severe impairment. A staff team approach is utilized in order to provide the students with an optimal program. The curriculum is aligned with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. The teachers and specialists use this curriculum to develop appropriate goals and objectives for each student.
