The mission of the Denver Metro CPRC is to inform and empower low-income, culturally and linguistically diverse families as advocates for their children with disabilities, age birth-26, to achieve meaningful participation in their schools and communities.
Who do we serve?
We are here to assist families that have children with disabilities as well as service providers in the Denver Enterprise Zone. This includes Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties.
You can help continue the tireless efforts of the Denver Metro CPRC to support families with children with all disabilities by making your tax deductible donation for any amount you wish. Donations

POWERFUL DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES WAITLIST VIDEO NOEWAIT, the National Organization to End the Waitlist (headquartered in Colorado), has produced a poweful and poignant video describing the situation for hundreds of thousands of individuals and families across the country.
The Colorado Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Trust Fund was established in 2002 by the Colorado legislature to provide statewide care coordination and services to children and adults with traumatic brain injury, sponsor TBI-related education, and fund TBI research. Funds for the Colorado TBI Trust Fund come from surcharges on traffic ticket fines for speeding, DUI, DWAI, and violators of the children's helmet law. The Trust Fund is housed within the Colorado Department of Human Services' Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and has a volunteer community Board of Directors appointed by the Governor. Presently, we are recruiting persons for two vacancies on our board. We are hoping to increase the representation of expertise in pediatrics/youth, corrections, substance abuse, law enforcement and are actively recruiting Spanish speaking candidates. We are especially committed to building diversity in other areas including gender, culture, ethnicity and ability. For more information about the TBI Program or the Trust Fund Board, please visit www.tbicolorado.org. For more information on becoming a board member click here: TBIboardinfoletter.pdf
