Cerebral Palsy Expertise and Support

Innovative Therapy and Technology

Our team uses evidence-based therapies and stays current on emerging technology through national training and professional leadership. Therapists regularly attend and present at national conferences to bring the latest advances in communication technology, seating and positioning to our patients.

We offer specialized services including augmentative communication evaluations, custom equipment assessments and technology-based programs that help children communicate, learn and participate more fully in daily life.

Team-Based Care in One Place

The Perlman Center is known for its unique multidisciplinary group model. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and educators work together during each session. This allows families to receive coordinated support and real-time problem solving without multiple separate appointments.

Our groups also create opportunities for peer interaction, family connection and shared learning among children and caregivers.

Personalized Support for Every Family

Every child receives a care plan tailored to their needs and goals. We look beyond physical challenges and focus on communication, mobility, learning, independence and participation in everyday activities.

Our care coordinators are embedded within our programs and available throughout a child’s lifespan. They help families navigate services, connect with resources and find support at every stage of care.

Whole-Child Care That Promotes Independence

We take a holistic approach to cerebral palsy care. Our goal is to support every area affected by a physical disability and help each child become as independent as possible at home, in school, at work and in their community.

Families have access to therapy, technology services, care coordination, parent support and community resources through one program. This integrated approach helps families find answers, support and guidance in one place.
