Therapy doesn’t have to happen in a clinic. It happens where it works best for you—and research agrees. 💛 Studies show that delivering therapy in a child’s natural environment—like their home, classroom, or local park—not only helps skills feel relevant but also makes therapy more practical and meaningful for families. 🌈 In familiar settings, kids feel more comfortable, families stay actively involved, and strategies are tailored to fit into everyday routines. It’s therapy designed for real life—not just a clinic room. #pediatrictherapy #speechtherapy #occupationaltherapy #therapywhereyouare #familyfirstapproach #researchbacked

It is caused by abnormal development or damage to the brain before, during, or shortly after birth. Many individuals with Cerebral Palsy face significant and unnecessary challenges in their daily lives, including problems with movement, speech, and other body systems. An estimated 150 babies receive a Cerebral Palsy diagnosis in Ireland each year and an estimated 3,000 children and young people and 9,500 adults are living with Cerebral Palsy in Ireland.
