The Children’s Hemiplegia and Stroke Association (CHASA)

Provides information and support to families of children who have hemiplegia, hemiparesis or hemiplegic cerebral palsy. These conditions are often caused by stroke in an infant and may also be the result of a number of different conditions.

CHASA is recognized as an international authority on the needs of children who have hemiplegic cerebral palsy. CHASA has partnered with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the Office of Rare Diseases Research and the Child Neurology Society to co-sponsor an international symposium where preeminent pediatric stoke researchers and pediatric neurologists could gather to discuss current developments in the field and future directions in pediatric stroke research.

CHASA provides three informational websites, over 30 online discussion groups with over 5000 members, plans and hosts an annual retreat for families of children who have hemiplegia, supports local family events through a small grant program, assists researchers in recruiting participants for research studies, provides family retreat scholarships, provides financial assistance to help families in need purchase hand and foot braces, and provides college and vocational school and athletic scholarships for young adults who have hemiplegia.
