When your child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP), it can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. At NAPA Centre, we walk alongside families like yours every day, providing hope, support, and innovative therapies that help children thrive. At NAPA, providing families of children with cerebral palsy with hope is our specialty, because we’ve been there, too.
Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in childhood, affecting movement, balance, and coordination. While there is no cure, early and personalised therapy can make a life-changing difference. At NAPA, we specialise in intensive and weekly therapy programs tailored to each child’s unique needs and goals. Whether your child is working on walking, talking, feeding, or gaining independence, we design a plan that brings out their full potential.
A passionate and highly-trained multidisciplinary team of paediatric therapists who treat your child like family

NAPA Centre was founded in 2008 by a mother on a mission. After her son was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, she traveled the world seeking the most effective therapies. Her journeys led her to discover the most cutting-edge techniques, and inspired the creation of NAPA, a place where families could access the very best therapies in one warm, welcoming space. Today, NAPA is recognized as a global leader in paediatric therapy, with clinics across the U.S., Australia, and the U.K.
Whether you’re just starting your therapy journey or looking for new options, we’re here to help. Schedule a complimentary Discovery Session with a NAPA therapist to discuss your child’s needs and see how we can help.
