Empowering Participation: Equipment & Positioning for Individuals with Cerebral Palsy

This webinar will be of interest to parents, grandparents, carers, support workers, therapists, and anyone else engaged in care, support, therapy and education of children with physical disabilities.

It will provide the opportunity to gain insights into the considerations, benefits and key features of 24-hour supportive equipment (also termed AT: Assistive Technology) for children with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities. We will discuss what is Assistive Technology and how to get funding for it.

We will explore how supportive equipment:

• Enables a child to build on their motor skills

• Increases a child’s active participation and independence

• Enables access to play, using your hands, communication and technology
