Our Residential Therapy programme in Johannesburg runs for a two week period where children and their caregivers participate in a full day programme. The programme is focused on functional activities, having fun and training caregivers to creative an optimally supportive environment for their children. We believe that all children with CP no matter how severe have the ability to grow, play and learn. During our Residential Therapy Programme we are fortunate enough together with the caregivers to be exposed to what children with CP can do with the right amount of assistance and creativity. To facilitate growth and play in these children we make use of a large number of consumable materials and so during the Christmas build up we are raising funds to purchase items from our Christmas Wish List. You can support this cause through either donating through our website or dropping off any of the list items at our offices in Braamfontein. We wish you a very festive season!
