The CNR in Morton, Pennsylvania is a treatment and Diagnostic facility where families come to learn how and what they can do to help their handicapped child. It began in 1964 as a result of research that indicated a serious need to find better ways to help handicapped children. The results also showed there were virtually no available services that offered help to the families who desperately needed support, guidance and knowledge. Under the leadership of its founder John F. Unruh, Ph.D., the CNR has developed services in many countries throughout the world where specialist continue to search and provide effective, comprehensive and individualized rehabilitation plans for handicapped children. Our programs are taught to the family and are carried out in the home. Families are empowered and enabled by information and by the our firm belief that the family has the most influential effect on their child's ability to reach his or her potential. It is an important responsibility that often is without help or support.

By the year 1998 many of the key staff members of the CNR were either retired or deceased. The job of managing such a large facility fell on Dr. John F. Unruh who was also getting older and trying his best to meet the needs of expanding commitments in Europe and other locations in the United States. He made the decision to close the Centre for Neurological Rehabilitation for good but to continue the work under the new name of Neurological Rehabilitation International Consultants. Although there is no longer a CNR, Dr. Unruh remains committed to its original goals and continues to move forward with his quest to find newer and better ways to help handicapped children and their families. Without the responsibility of the CNR, he now focuses all his energy and attention on the important clinical work that he loves so much, seeing children and helping families.
