On 29 August 1962, with the support of the Penang Rotary Club, the Spastic Children’s Association of Penang was founded. It initially operated from the St. Andrew Presbyterian Church on Codrington Avenue before moving to the home of the late Mr. Lim Cheng Ean at 67 Northam Road. At that time, the association cared for around 21 children with cerebral palsy.

In 1994, it rebranded as the Cerebral Palsy (Spastic) Children’s Association of Penang. Today, it is located on a 1.7-acre site at 425 Jalan Masjid Negeri, 11600 Pulau Pinang, a generous donation from the late Tan Sri Dato Loh Boon Siew and Lam Wah Ee Trustees.

In 2023, the association chose to remove the term “spastic” from its logo, recognizing that it has become outdated and is often seen as inappropriate outside of specific medical contexts. This change reflects the Association’s commitment to promoting inclusivity and addressing any negative connotations associated with the condition.

In the year 2024, we have also decided to further change our name to better represent individuals with cerebral palsy across all age groups. From 23 August 2024, we are known as Persatuan Cerebral Palsy Pulau Pinang (Cerebral Palsy Association of Penang).
