About
Scope is a national disability charity that campaigns to challenge and change negative attitudes about disability and provides direct services. The organisation was founded in 1952 by a group of parents and social workers who wanted to ensure that their disabled children had the right to a decent education. When founded Scope, then known as the Spastic Society, focussed on Cerebral Palsy. Today Scope is a "pan-disability" charity that represents all conditions and impairment.
