CPcorrectie

CPcorrectie is a Dutch non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and related motor disabilities. Founded in 1952, the organization focuses on providing specialized care, rehabilitation, and support services tailored to the unique needs of people affected by CP. Its name combines "CP" (an abbreviation for cerebral palsy) with "correctie," which translates to "correction" or "improvement" in Dutch, reflecting its mission to enhance mobility, independence, and overall well-being.

CPcorrectie operates through a network of clinics, rehabilitation centers, and outreach programs across the Netherlands. The organization employs a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, orthopedists, and other specialists to develop personalized treatment plans. Services include physical therapy, orthotic fittings, surgical interventions, and assistive technology solutions to address mobility challenges, pain management, and functional limitations.

In addition to clinical care, CPcorrectie advocates for awareness and education about cerebral palsy, aiming to reduce stigma and promote inclusive practices in society. The organization also conducts research to advance medical knowledge and improve treatment methodologies for CP. By fostering collaboration between healthcare providers, researchers, and families, CPcorrectie strives to empower individuals with CP to lead fulfilling lives with greater autonomy and dignity.

Funded primarily through donations, grants, and partnerships, CPcorrectie relies on public support to sustain its operations and expand its reach. Its work aligns with broader efforts in the Netherlands to enhance accessibility and support for people with disabilities, contributing to a more inclusive healthcare landscape.
