March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, a time to recognize the contributions, talents, and rights of people with disabilities—and to recommit ourselves to building communities in New York where those with complex needs or housing insecurity can achieve fulfilling, dignified, safe, and healthy lives.
At CP Unlimited, this month is about meaningful awareness and action. For 80 years, the organization has stood alongside the people we support, providing critical services that empower them to live independently, pursue meaningful work, express themselves creatively, and fully experience their community. From housing and vocational services to Article 16 therapies, creative arts, and advocacy efforts, CPU remains grounded in respect and care.
March is also National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, a period when we remember our history as an Agency founded by a group of parents who were committed, like us today, to promoting equity in health and accessibility. That 2026 marks our eighth decade doing this important work shows us how far we have come and how the concerns of yesterday inform all we do.
CP Unlimited is proud to support thousands of New Yorkers each year, enlarging our umbrella of service while sharing resources and expertise.
Together with our friends and partners, we ensure that people with disabilities are not only seen—but valued, supported, and inspired every day of the year.
We're Here: Then, Now, Always
