Help Cerebral Palsy affected children

Report on ‘HELP CEREBRAL PALSY AFFECTED CHILDREN’

(Project #39831 from Balajothi Centre for the Disabled Trust)

Funding goal : $5,000 / Funds raised to date : $270.15

Project Report due on : Jul 28, 2020 / Report sent on Jul 6, 2020

As explained in the Project, Cerebral Palsy is a non-progressive disorder that causes physical disability in development mainly in the areas of body movement and control. It is caused by damage to the motor control centers of the developing brain and can occur during pregnancy, childbirth or after birth. Children affected by CP have problems in perception, communication, cognition and epilepsy. It also leads to musculoskeletal problems resulting in difficulties in movement and balancing.

Balajothi works with CP affected children providing regular physiotherapy and other activities which result in increasing flexibility of muscles.  We also educate & enable the parents to follow through the sessions at home. This project equips Balajothi Centre with the much-needed physiotherapy equipment & training aids for the program.

Neglect of a CP impaired child can lead to lifelong inadequacies impacting the child's life. Regular therapy & training sessions help the children lead near-normal lives. Failure results in tightening of ligaments & spasticity leading to permanent immobility. They are trained for: SELF CARE: bathing, toileting, dressing & grooming. MOBILITY: to safely and independently move around. Communication & Social Relationships: Child's interaction especially other people. Thus giving them SELF ESTEEM and independence in mobility.
