Cerebral Palsy of Westchester was founded in 1949 by a network of volunteers, helping disabled children gain access to medical treatments and services new to area hospitals. Martie Osterer was one of these volunteers. She enlisted her husband David, a Westchester businessman, in forming a partnership of caring community volunteers and professionals committed to making the necessary services and programs available to everyone in need. While the original focus was on individuals with cerebral palsy, the mandate has continually expanded to reach children and adults with a variety of developmental disabilities. Today the David G. Osterer Center in Rye Brook serves as the nucleus of a network of more than a dozen locations throughout Westchester County. Those satellite programs and residential sites have been developed to provide for the ever-expanding and changing needs of disabled individuals throughout the community.
