Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County

What Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County does

The Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County (CP Nassau) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1941 and incorporated in 1948, headquartered in Roosevelt, New York, that delivers a comprehensive continuum of disability services to approximately 1,500 children and adults with developmental disabilities annually. Its service portfolio spans the Children's Learning Center (a school for ages 2-21), Adult Day Programs (Community-Based Day Habilitation, Life Options, and Site-Based Day Habilitation), Medical and Therapeutic Services (Primary Care, Dental, Podiatry, and Rehabilitation Medicine/Physiatry delivered through a dually Article 28 and Article 16 certified clinic), Residential Life Services (IRAs, Supportive IRAs, Independent Living, and the 48-bed CP Bayville ICF), Community Habilitation, the MOVE mobility program, and the Nassau Thunderbolts competitive boccia team. Operations are supported by eClinicalWorks EMR (deployed 2017), e-prescription software (2016), telemedicine services, and adaptive equipment such as Rifton Pacers and activity chairs, deployed across a 15-acre main campus and roughly 20 satellite sites throughout Nassau County.

Revenue is generated primarily through New York State OPWDD waiver funding and Medicaid reimbursements, supplemented by individual and corporate donations (the organization states 90% of contributed income is directed to programming), foundation and legislative grants (Derfner Foundation, Terence Leary Foundation, Million Dollar Round Table Foundation, Hempstead Town Board), planned giving vehicles, and ancillary fundraising such as an eBay store that has generated over $120,000. Services are accessed through OPWDD waiver programs and care managers rather than direct consumer purchase, so pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization rebranded in 2016 after withdrawing from the national United Cerebral Palsy association, separating from a 60-year affiliation, and is currently led by Executive Director Karen Geller-Hittleman, who succeeded long-tenured predecessor Bob McGuire in 2022. The 27-member Board of Directors (as of 2026) provides governance oversight, and the agency employs more than 850 staff across its Nassau County footprint.
