Capper Foundation (CF)

In collaboration with families and medical, educational and community professionals, services were designed to build the abilities and independent life skills of persons with disabilities. Capper Foundation provides services to infants, children, teens and adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Some of these disabilities include: autism, cerebral palsy, sensory processing disorder, and other orthopedic and neurological conditions. Positive outcomes to enhance their independence were accomplished by creatively adapting and applying ideas, services, education, therapies and equipment, and by providing training for those who live and work with this special population. During this year, pediatric physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language therapy and behavior support services were conducted with 745 persons through outpatient and school contract services. Information and referral services were provided to 417 individuals. Other support and professional training activities included 77 participants. 108 people participated in therapeutic recreation activities. Residential services assisted 106 adults to live in a community setting. Adult day services provided 131 persons supports to engage in community based activities. 69 individuals participated in employment services. Targeted case management services were provided for 79 adults and children.
