School That Heartbreak Built Opens For Cerebral Palsy Children
In Chicago the South Side Training Center hosts an open house for parents of 23 cerebral palsy children aged 5 to 15. Over 200 visitors see progress as a 6 year old speaks a new sound and an 8 year old walks with fewer crutches. The school, basement space at Tuley Park fieldhouse, is funded entirely by the Parents Association for Cerebral Palsied Children through donations and raffles, with a $100,000 annual budget and bus service provided by the parents. Superintendent Bernadine Moen, 45, leads four teachers and four therapists, aiming to place many pupils into regular schools someday.
