Descriptor: LeafBridge, A Center of Excellence for Children with Disabilities at UCP of Greater Cleveland has therapy and family support services for infants and children (up to 22 years of age) with a variety of developmental delays and disabilities including, but not limited to, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, developmental delay, spinal cord injury, genetic disorders, and autism spectrum disorder. LeafBridge's philosophy stresses early intervention and holistic, family-focused care.
