Are you a parent of a child with cerebral palsy? Your experiences and insights could help shape how play is used in therapy by Allied Health Professionals (AHP) and AHP support workers.

One of the members of staff in the occupational therapy teaching team, School of Health, Robert Gordon University is conducting a study on play in therapy for children with cerebral palsy in their early years. This study is part of Kirstyn's Professional Doctorate in Health Sciences which she is completing at the University of Dundee.

Kirstyn is looking for volunteer parents to take part in some discussions that will help develop tools for therapy.

✨ Why Participate? Your input can help develop better therapy tools and strategies, improving play-based therapy for children with CP and their families.

💙 Interested? Please contact Kirstyn, by replying via the survey https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/dundee/parent-recruitment-codesigning-and-integrated-ahp-plan-for-play

Can you believe the determination of this wee sweetheart?
I’m so happy to say that a recent update from Ella’s determined mum has revealed she is now confidently walking around her own house with no splints and no one behind her. Ella has always battle with her mind and confidence to let her body do what it knows how to do without fear of falling back.

Now she is on a journey of major independence for life. I’m so so proud of all the work she has done at her intensives and continued at home. 🥳🥰

Who feels like as their kids get older the system provides less and less progressive therapy and training?

Is there more focus on maintaining than progressing?

When children and bodies are changing the most training should be specific and functional to increase range of motion at hips knees and ankles, whilst building strength and balance. Speedy growing causes tightness, restricted movements and slower reactions, which can lead to more falls and regression.

I want to prevent this with a training group that supports one another and keeps the progress going in a positive environment.

If you would like to know more please give me a message on Facebook or ckintensives@gmail.com

What is DMI Therapy?

Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a therapeutic technique used in physical and occupational therapy to treat children with motor delay by improving automatic postural responses and help each child progress towards developmental milestones (rolling, sitting, four-point, crawling, standing, walking and transitions). The goal of DMI is to provoke a specified active motor response from the child in response to defined dynamic exercises prescribed by the therapist. (This means that the therapist will present an exercise in order to provoke a specific movement or response from your child.)
