This report describes the findings and interim results of a follow-up study of 770 children with cerebral palsy who were cared for under the aegis of the New York City Financial Aid Program from 1945 to July 1, 1954. The findings seem to indicate that some redirection of the program to include development, expansion and improvement of some alternate services within the community is advisable. It is likely that this same type of follow-up study would be of equal value for children of other diagnostic groups, and similar studies might be initiated.
