💚💗 WORLD CEREBRAL PALSY DAY 2026 💗💚
October 6, 2026

Today, the Tulsa Cerebral Palsy Association proudly joins people around the world in recognizing World Cerebral Palsy Day. 💚

Cerebral palsy is more than a diagnosis. It is a community of individuals with dreams, talents, goals, challenges, accomplishments, and incredible stories to tell.

At Tulsa Cerebral Palsy Association, we believe every person deserves the opportunity to participate, connect, experience, grow, and live a life filled with meaning and joy.

Sometimes that means providing equipment that makes everyday life easier. Sometimes it means helping create opportunities for recreation, therapy, personal enrichment, or simply trying something new. And sometimes, it’s about making sure someone knows that they are seen, valued, and supported.

We are incredibly proud to support individuals with cerebral palsy throughout our community and to help remove barriers wherever we can. From adaptive equipment and recreational opportunities to supporting dreams and creating new possibilities, we believe the possibilities are bigger than the limitations.

Today, we celebrate every individual with cerebral palsy—their strength, their accomplishments, their families, their caregivers, and the people who stand beside them. 💗💚

Different abilities. Endless possibilities.

Happy World Cerebral Palsy Day from all of us at the Tulsa Cerebral Palsy Association! 💚💗

At Tulsa Cerebral Palsy Association, we believe that equipment can be about so much more than mobility and daily needs — it can be about opportunity, recreation, independence, and personal enrichment. 💚💗

We are incredibly proud to have been able to purchase a personal bowling ramp for one of our members. The ramp was purchased from and supports the Minnesota Paralyzed Veterans of America. 🎳

For someone with cerebral palsy, having the right adaptive equipment can make it possible to participate more fully in activities they love. This bowling ramp will provide greater consistency, accessibility, and independence while allowing our member to continue enjoying the sport of bowling alongside friends and teammates.

Opportunities like this are a reminder that people with disabilities deserve access not only to the equipment they need, but also to the activities, experiences, friendships, and hobbies that bring joy and purpose to life.

We are so grateful to the Minnesota Disabled Veterans Association for helping us make this opportunity possible. Your support is helping create experiences that go far beyond equipment — you are helping create possibilities. 💗💚

Our family would like to send a heartfelt thank you to the Tulsa Cerebral Palsy Association for providing equipment that insurance simply would not cover.

The sit-to-stand patient transfer lift has made such a meaningful difference in our loved one’s daily life. This equipment allows them to move more independently throughout their home without having to be physically lifted for every transfer.

It also provides an incredible benefit to their caregivers. Being able to assist with transfers safely, rather than repeatedly lifting and carrying, helps reduce the physical strain and risk of injury for everyone involved.

Sometimes equipment may seem like a simple piece of medical equipment, but for a family, it can mean greater independence, dignity, safety, and a better quality of life.

We are so grateful to the Tulsa Cerebral Palsy Association for helping provide something that insurance wouldn’t — but that our family truly needed. ❤️

💗 From One Caregiver Momma to Another… 💗

I know firsthand how hard caregiving can be.

There are days when you are completely exhausted, but you keep going. Days when you’re making appointments, managing medications, handling the house, advocating, worrying, planning, and trying to make sure the person you love has the best life possible.

And sometimes, in the middle of taking care of everyone else, we forget that caregivers need care too. 🫶

That’s why I wanted to share this with my fellow Oklahoma caregivers…

🌸 The Oklahoma Caregiver Conference is FREE to attend! 🌸

What a wonderful opportunity to step outside of the daily caregiving routine, connect with people who understand, learn about resources, and hopefully leave feeling a little more supported and a little less alone.

If you’re a caregiver, please consider giving yourself permission to attend. You don’t have to earn the right to take care of yourself. You matter, too. 💗

And if you know a caregiver who is carrying a heavy load, please share this with them. Sometimes just knowing that someone sees you and understands can mean so much. 💚

From one Caregiver Momma to another…
You are doing more than you realize. You are not alone. And you deserve support, too. 🌷

💗 Calling All Oklahoma Caregivers! 💗

Tulsa Cerebral Palsy Assoc appreciates our Direct Support Professionals!

A DSP (Direct Support Professional) position is so VERY downplayed, very underpaid by the community and the world.. Meanwhile I'm holding your son's hand as he cries on my shoulder because his family doesn't come visit him.. I'm caring for your uncle's personal needs because he is incapable of doing it himself... I'm holding your son's hand and using de-escalation techniques to calm him after becoming physically aggressive towards me. I take your sister out to eat because sometimes pizza tastes better in the restaurant than at home. We feed, we bathe, we toilet, we comfort, we clean, we cook, we shop, go to doctor appointments, we chart, we do goals, pass meds, bathe, deal with seizures, diabetes, autism, eating disorders, deal with the mute, we wipe noses, clean up drool and vomit, cheer over every achievement big and small, go on outings and often defend our clients feelings because someone in the community makes rude comments or acts like their disability is contagious. We develop personal relationships with precious people we would have never known unless they needed us. They become part of our lives and family. We become part of theirs. It’s so hard to be depended on by one person, LET ALONE multiple people at once. It's a demanding & emotional job. But I do it, I'm not ashamed of doing it & I DO IT WELL!! We also deal with some pretty serious situations and it can be very mentally, physically, emotionally draining but I seriously LOVE my Job as a DSP
