Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy

Children with Cerebral Palsy have a wide range of different needs, strengths and challenges. No two children are the same and, because of this, the way our child enjoys play and exercise will be specific to them.

This library (produced by specialist physiotherapist, Stephanie Wheen), has lots of ideas, exercises, activities and games to help our children thrive and develop at home – working their motor and sensory systems whilst at play. Activities are sequenced on each page from easiest to hardest so there is something to suit every child.
