Everything you need to know about getting a mobility permit More on Mobility Parking. CCS Disability Action has a long history of providing disability services in New Zealand. This is a very quick snapshot of some of the events that have led to the dynamic and innovative organisation we have today.
These epidemics had serious after effects on the health of children in New Zealand. In 1935, after some lobbying, Rotary launched the New Zealand Crippled Children Society. The organisation was helped in its first year by a donation from Lord Nuffield of 60,00 and the gift of their home in Takapuna plus a 10,00 donation from Mr and Mrs Wilson. In 1941, Dr Gray of the Mental Hospitals Department outlined his views in relation to the 'problem' of children with cerebral palsy.
He felt . In 1948, Dr Earl Carlson visited New Zealand and wrote a very important report for the New Zealand government about services to people with cerebral palsy. This allowed our staff to go out into their communities and visit the homes of children with physical disabilities in remote rural areas the only access would sometimes be by bike. In 1958, the government were very proud to open the Pukeora Sanitorium as a home for those young crippled men and women who may, in the main, be considered incurable. At this time, throughout the country, there were over 700 people of all ages receiving our services.
In 1962, a survey conducted by the Auckland Branch confirmed the incidence of certain crippling conditions, particularly talipes, among the Maori race. At that time, the only people working in the community were female social workers!. In 1973, the first issue of Access Magazine this went nationwide was produced and in 1974 the first 'Crippled Children Day' was held. In 1977, the mobility parking scheme was launched it was known as Operation Mobility and in the space of two years over 300 people had been issued with a mobility parking permit.
