So today in our group session, we are taking baby steps towards learning and action. Three incredibly kind ladies from the organisation Senecio have agreed to give a training on physical care struggles. They are a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist and a speech therapist, specialized in children with disabilities. The full session is dedicated to learning on stretching exercises, how to place your child is his wheelchair properly and comfortably, on easing feeding issues and much much more. The team of Senecio is patient, kind and very knowledgeable. The mothers are clearly learning new techniques that they were not aware off before. And more importantly, they were able and eager to learn more about the possibilities for improvement for their children. One mother mentioned: ‘ I never knew that with the proper training, Bongi can actually learn to walk. Her foot has always been like this, so she can only crawl. If I had only known before’. I am hoping that these forms of training combined with our group discussions will inspire new ideas, creativity and project suggestions.
