Over the last several decades, people who have cerebral palsy have made signifcant progress and achieved high levels of success in all areas of modern society.

The OFCP 2011 Annual Conference recognized a diverse range of individuals and their accomplishments. Together we celebrated how cerebral palsy is a positive aspect of our lives.

This conference offered us a rare opportunity to commend our peers, friends and family who have cerebral palsy for achieving their goals and dreams.

We also featured a special exhibit that showcased the art, literature, educational achievements, personal accomplishments and community involvement of successful individuals who have cerebral palsy.
