Helping those with developmental disabilities since 1955

Our mission is to provide free physical, occupational and speech therapy services to children and adults with any debilitating congenital condition in need of therapy.

Who Are We?

For over 60 years, the Opelousas Area Cerebral Palsy Clinic has been dedicated to serving children and adults with developmental disabilities in the St. Landry, Evangeline, and surrounding parishes. We provide physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy—all completely free of charge. Our clinic operates one day a week on Tuesdays from 8am-5pm.

Each year, we provide therapy services to nearly 50 individuals. Sessions last 30 minutes and are scheduled based on each person’s needs—some attend weekly, while others come monthly.

  • Physical therapy and occupational therapy are offered year-round

  • Speech therapy is available during our summer program

Some patients receive therapy for a short period, while others continue for many years, depending on their needs and progress. Our goal is always to support each individual’s growth, independence, and quality of life.
