ALLOUEZ, WI (WTAQ) - Adults with physical and developmental disabilities in the Fox Valley will soon have another option for day care.
Cerebral Palsy, Inc. is expanding and will open a CP Center satellite facility next month at 1113 W. Kennedy Avenue in Kimberly.
"This summer, our Foundation raised a significant amount of money to help individuals with disabilities in the Fox Valley," said Nicolet Bank President and COO Mike Daniels. "We are happy that CP is one of the organizations to step forward and fill this important need in the community."
The new center, modeled after the Lakeshore Adult Day Services' facility, will offer functional skills training in core program areas and focus on providing opportunities for individuals to achieve personal skill development goals including communication, fine and gross motor development, sensory integration and self care.
"CP has a storied history of serving people with disabilities in the Northeast Wisconsin region for over 60 years," said CP Executive Director Jon Syndergaard. "Our service model and capable team are well documented in their ability to move individuals with physical and cognitive challenges to a higher level of self-sufficiency and we are anxious to share those services with the Fox Cities and surrounding communities."
Syndergaard added that it's been in the works since the summer and they're happy to see this come to fruition. The center will have capacity for 20 clients to start out.
