Jayson is a bright and active boy with an amazing smile and beautiful blue eyes, who receives services and support through the Centre’s School Age Intervention Programme (SAIP).

SAIP focuses on developing young lives through a range of children’s services including therapy, specialised equipment, social work and respite care.

A number of children with cerebral palsy have been waiting over six months for a range of equipment like wheelchairs, walkers and modified trikes. This is why Jayson and his family have generously volunteered to help raise funds to clear the Wish List by March 2010.

Regular exercise is important for all children, especially children with CP, and what better way to keep children active than walking or riding around on specially modified walkers and trikes designed to keep children safe, secure and on the move.

The Centre’s Business Development Manager, Kathy Kane, says, “New technology has made huge advancements over the last few decades to help kids with CP be fully integrated into the community. However, this technology can be very expensive and is beyond the means of most families.”

“It’s always rewarding when families like Jayson’s want to work with us to achieve the very best outcome for not only their own child, but for other children with CP,” Ms Kane adds.
