Extended Family
Extended family members play important roles
Caring for a child with cerebral palsy is a full-time obligation that can be as overwhelming as it is rewarding. Extended family members can be instrumental in helping to ensure a child’s health, education and safety needs are being met.
Father and Son
Damien, the boy that taught his MMA father a thing, or two, about being in the fight
Alejandro Zea is a mixed martial artist known for his physical power in the ring. When his son Damien was born with cerebral palsy, Alejandro came to see a side of fighting he could never imagine existed.
Family
A full life with family, friends and independence
“In spite of my disability I wouldn’t trade any of it for anything because it makes me who I am,” said Priscilla Morrison. “I have a lot of friends that support me in everything I do. I hope my readers find this helpful in some way.” Priscilla shares her life story, maturing with cerebral palsy.
Friends
‘Handicap This!’ creators prove friendship has no barriers
For Mike Berkson and Tim Wambach, creating the two-man show Handicap This! dispels notions that those with cerebral palsy don’t have anything in common with those who do not.
Siblings and Twins
For twins, disability can strengthen relationship
Parents not only of twins and multiples but also of children where one or more has a disability, may navigate some challenging situations as their children grow and mature. A child’s disability need not be a barrier to close, supportive lifelong relationships among siblings.
Special Moms

A woman of super-human powers and uncommon grace, our mothers are the go-to individuals that wipe tears, administer sage advice, advocate for us behind the scenes and work every day to bring out the best we have to offer. Here’s our tribute to the woman who believes in us.
Spouses and Partners
A tale of love and devotion
Artist Dan Keplinger said in the Academy Award-winning film about his life that he expected to have a life of loneliness because he believed his cerebral palsy would prohibit someone from loving him. But Dan would ultimately find that life is full of surprises after meeting his soul mate and wife, Dena.
