创造和第一年

1946年,来自纽约州各地的几个残疾儿童家长团体组成了一个协会,以提高公众意识,赞助家长和专业培训,鼓励研究,并参与立法宣传,以发展他们的孩子所需的服务。

这个由坚定的地方领导人组成的松散团体后来被称为纽约州脑瘫协会(CP of NYS)。在几年内,该协会发展到包括整个纽约州的脑瘫治疗中心,以帮助扩大获得支持服务的机会。

在20世纪50年代,随着史坦顿岛的威洛布鲁克州立学校和其他州立学校的建立,纽约州政府开始为这些设施的工作人员提供在职培训,以确保为脑瘫患者和其他发育障碍者提供的计划和护理质量。

In 1972, Geraldo Rivera aired a hidden-camera story on the decline and conditions at Willowbrook. After public outcry, the facility was shuttered and the manner of treating people with disabilities was forever changed. See our participation in the fiftieth anniversary event on of the airing of the program and the dedication of The Willowbrook Mile.

The shift in care launched the era of “de-institutionalization” and CP of NYS remained a leader in the field. The Agency developed mini-teams to work with former residents and to provide further staff support and training. This initiative marked the transformation of the organization from a State Association to a direct service provider.

During this period, CP of NYS was asked to take over seven buildings on the Willowbrook grounds to create community-based living opportunities for previous residents of Willowbrook and other State Developmental Centers, in collaboration with the newly formed New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities. Today, we still support the largest cohort of former residents in CP settings throughout New York City and Hudson Valley.

国家扩张

20世纪80年代,日间治疗方案、诊所、庇护工场和支持性就业方案的扩大,使人们现在生活在社区中。纽约州议会联盟在全州范围内也倡导为残疾儿童提供学前和早期干预服务的需要。

到2018年,纽约州的CP已经发展成为一个基础广泛、提供多种服务的组织,为所有类型的智力和发育障碍者服务。同年6月,该机构成立了哈德逊河谷分部,为整个普特南和杜切斯县的成年智力和发育障碍者提供住宿、日间适应训练和第16条临床服务。该组织现在包括位于纽约市的麦德龙服务和麦德龙社区健康中心,位于纽约州奥尔巴尼的附属服务办公室,以及遍布纽约州的24个附属机构。

今天的CP无限公司

2019年,本组织将重点转移到纽约市及其他地区,以更好地照顾需要支持的越来越多的I/DD患者。我们这套方案的特点是加强社区生活、日间方案、职业和就业方案、医疗和临床服务、早期干预、教育、娱乐和家庭支持服务。

随着这一转变,出现了一个新的名字:建设性伙伴关系(CP)无限公司

鉴于我们的根基,我们仍然与我们在奥尔巴尼的附属服务办公室以及位于全州的附属合作机构保持密切联系。我们还与发展伙伴合作,扩大我们在所有这些重要领域的服务,并召集不同的机构,以便更好地为I/DD的人提供综合支持。在我们所有的工作中,我们仍然对塑造CP Unlimited历史的下一章和扩大我们的影响感到兴奋。
