Children's Services

Children’s Services provide support to children aged 0-18 years in New South Wales and the ACT who have cerebral palsy or a similar disability and their families.

This service aims to provide a family-centred approach that meets the individual needs of children and their families. Older students and adolescents are encouraged to take increasing responsibility in developing and achieving their own goals in preparation for adult life. Information, support, therapy and educational programs are offered to promote the inclusion of children and families within their community. Activities and programs, which can be incorporated into daily routines at home, school and in the community, are emphasised to help children learn necessary skills.
