At United Cerebral Palsy, we celebrate the neurodiversity of families, as well as our friends and neighbors across the nation. This diversity enriches our communities and strengthens the fabric of American life, making our country vibrant and resilient.

We urge every American to refrain from using disparaging language about our fellow citizens. Referring to anyone as “retarded” is hurtful, offensive, and inconsistent with the principles of dignity and equality that define our nation.
