Our Work
CPI provides direct services to children and adults with
developmental
disabilities, adults with brain injuries, and at-risk youth.
The CPI team
is made up of experienced therapists, job coaches, support
brokers, and
other professionals who are responsible for delivering
critical services
to over 1,000 people each year. The impact of CPI’s work is
far-reaching,
helping to shape local economies, workforces, and
communities in Wake, Durham, and Wayne Counties.
Our
Impact
In the 2006-2007 fiscal year:
• Nearly 200 people with disabilities pursued career
opportunities in
their communities. Local businesses hired qualified
employees who
earned a combined salary of $680,000, and reduced their
dependency on government assistance.
• Over 300 children with disabilities were welcomed into
classrooms
and daycares with their more typically-developing peers—and
were
not segregated into programs for kids with “special” needs.
• Over 400 children and adults with disabilities (and their
families)
found needed medical care, transportation, housing, and
opportunities to participate in their communities.
• 200
young people living in poverty and experiencing additional
risk factors worked to complete their educations, develop
critical
workplace skills, and began building careers.
