Inclusion of Children with Physical Disabilities in Kindergartens/Daycares

CPEC will be running three training sessions tailored towards Kindergarten and Daycare staff. The team presenting this information includes a physiotherapist, speech pathologist and occupational therapist.

Session 1 covers topics including:

• An overview of cerebral palsy and like conditions

• Ways to enable children to participate actively (this will include some useful equipment)

• Practical ideas for implementation of activities in the pre-school environment

• Supporting children with physical challenges to safely eat and drink

Feedback from previous years indicates that this session is invaluable for people assisting and educating a child with a physical disability and/or complex communication need.
