Associação Portuguesa de Paralesia Cerebral de Lisboa (APCL), initially called Associação Portuguesa de Paralisia Cerebral, was founded in Lisbon on 26 July 1960 by a group of parents and technicians and was the first association of parents and experts, for people with disabilities created in the country. Given the specificity of cerebral palsy and the impossibility of that center to respond to numerous requests, a group of parents of children who were already being clientes of the Centre together a group of technicians, founded the Association, which statutes were approved by the Minister of Health and Welfare. Since it was founded, it has been defined as Legal Person of Administrative Public Interest. With the foundation of the Association opened in 1960 the first Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation Centre of the country. Volunteers can be integrated in two centers in Lisbon: Centro Nuno Krus Abecassis (located in Alto do Lumiar) and Espaço 7 Ofícios (located in Telheiras).
