Sponsor Cerebral Palsy (CP) Chairs
The situation:
If you’ve tried feeding a child afflicted with CP, you’ll understand what an ordeal meal time can become – both for the child and for the care giver. The care giver must find a way to make the child comfortable, which can be quite a challenge, due to its body contortion. Meal time could become a time of terrible discomfort for the child. We want to make all their experiences – including feeding – pleasant.
How you can help:
We need around 30 CP chairs – because that’s the number of severely disabled children in our home. The other 70 have mild to severe forms of retardation but are atleast partially mobile. A CP chair
- Provides excellent external support for children with inadequate postural control of their neck, head, and trunk
- Helps support the child comfortably so that it experiences less pain/discomfort
- Can ultimtely correct a child’s posture, with regular use
