Abstract: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability of childhood, but US federal government investment into CP research has historically been under-prioritized and under-funded. This issue was brought to the forefront by the parent advocacy group Reaching for the Stars who partnered with the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine to create a strong parent/professional partnership. This collaboration has resulted in increased awareness and federal commitment to cerebral palsy. This article highlights the important steps and lessons learned in the continuing journey of federal advocacy for CP research.
