Capability Scotland

Capability Scotland delivers exemplary care, support, and education for
disabled children and adults across Scotland.

We are a charity, founded in 1946 by a group of health professionals and parents determined for better opportunities for their children with cerebral palsy. We have always strived to be a major ally in supporting disabled people to have full 
equality of opportunity and participation as citizens of Scotland. We’re huge advocates 
of creating independence for disabled people and putting our customers at the heart 
of our work.
