Bobath Children's Therapy Centre Wales: A National Centre of Excellence for Families with Children with Cerebral Palsy
Bobath Children's Therapy Centre Wales is a national centre of excellence for families in Wales with children who have cerebral palsy. The centre has been providing specialist therapy services to children and their families since 1992, and has become a trusted name in the field of paediatric therapy.
At Bobath Children's Therapy Centre Wales, the focus is on providing transdisciplinary skills to each child so that they can benefit from the combined expertise of our specialist team. Our team comprises physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists who work together to offer comprehensive care to children with cerebral palsy.
Our Approach
At Bobath Children's Therapy Centre Wales, we believe that every child deserves the best possible care. That is why we take a holistic approach to therapy, focusing not just on physical rehabilitation but also on emotional wellbeing.
Our team works closely with each family to develop an individualised treatment plan that takes into account their child's unique needs and goals. We use evidence-based practices and innovative techniques to help each child achieve their full potential.
Our Services
We offer a range of services at Bobath Children's Therapy Centre Wales, including:
Physiotherapy: Our physiotherapists work with children to improve their movement skills, balance and coordination. We use a variety of techniques such as hydrotherapy (water therapy), gait analysis (walking analysis) and equipment provision (such as standing frames) to help children achieve their goals.
Occupational therapy: Our occupational therapists work with children on activities of daily living such as dressing, feeding or writing. We also provide sensory integration therapy which helps improve how the brain processes sensory information from different parts of the body.
Speech and language therapy: Our speech and language therapists work with children who have difficulty communicating or swallowing due to cerebral palsy. We use a range of techniques such as augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, feeding therapy and voice therapy to help children communicate more effectively.
Family support: We understand that caring for a child with cerebral palsy can be challenging. That is why we offer family support services such as counselling, advice on equipment provision and signposting to other services.
Our Impact
At Bobath Children's Therapy Centre Wales, we are proud of the impact we have had on the lives of children with cerebral palsy and their families. Our transdisciplinary approach has helped many children achieve their goals, whether that be walking independently or communicating more effectively.
We have also been involved in research projects which have helped to improve our understanding of cerebral palsy and how best to treat it. This research has been published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences.
