Children with cerebral palsy (CP) can experience movement problems varying from barely noticeable to extremely severe. Although there is no cure for CP, physiotherapy from an early age can help children with cerebral palsy to improve their quality of life. We have been proving physiotherapy as well as hands-on training to the parents of children with CP to help them learn the correct ways to move, maximising their abilities and preventing deformities and contractures.
Shishu Shorgo Centre
Through our Shishu Shorgo centre we provide six-month centre-baesd intensive therapy programs for children with cerebral palsy who are of school age but have not yet been admitted into school.
Home Based Rehabilitation
Children and adolescents with disability in regional and remote areas of Bangladesh can face numerous barriers to accessing therapy and rehabilitation services.
To increase uptake of rehabilitation in rural areas we provide training to parents in how to deliver home-based physiotherapy, early stimulation and speech therapy. We also link families with local service providers who offer on-going support.
Our trained field workers visit children at their homes and conduct assessments to guide the development of individualised therapy and rehabilitation programs.
We train parents in how to teach their child daily living activities, communication and language skills, social interaction , orientation, safe movement, play, household activities, and the use of adaptive devices that may be necessary for schooling.
Many of our projects include a home-based rehabilitation component.
