| Recipient Org: Description | Stick ‘n’ Step enables, inspires and supports children and young adults with cerebral palsy (a neurological condition, primarily affecting muscle control, coordination and reflexes, and often leading to complex development issues) to reach their full potential in terms of mobility, confidence and independence. We provide free Conductive Education (CE) sessions, which incorporate play, exercises and music into structured routines. CE is a highly specialised and innovative programme, which looks at the whole person. It deals with all aspects of a child’s development needs in parallel, thereby promoting improvements in cognitive, mental, physical, social and emotional development. CE is based on the premise that people with cerebral palsy can learn to better control their movements. Recent research into neural plasticity has shown that the human brain is capable of learning and adapting even after substantial injury. CE therefore combines elements of both education and rehabilitation and employs a wide array of strategies that are based on current evidence and best practices. Children work towards personalised goals to become more mobile and learn key life skills, including dressing, self-feeding, transferring from a wheelchair to a chair/sofa, and fine motor skills, like using a pen. CE aims to underpin inclusion and ensure that any barriers faced by young people with cerebral palsy doesn’t result in reduced academic or career opportunities. Stick ‘n’ Step raises the aspirations of disabled children and their families, by focusing on what the child can do and not on what they can’t do. Children are empowered and motivated to achieve their personal goals by joining sessions along with their peers. Working in a group environment promotes social skills and a sense of community for the children and their families. Regular attendance means that family members can meet others in a similar situation and can benefit from respite time. |
