Better Start – funded children’s therapy
Better Start provides funded therapy sessions to children with cerebral palsy aged 2-14.
Children and their families will work with our team of specialist therapists over the course of a number of sessions. Find out more about our approach to therapy.
Better Start aims to:
- Help children and young people increase in confidence, feel more able to participate in activities, and work towards the best of their ability.
- Support children, young people and their families to increase their knowledge and skills in supporting active participation in everyday situations, while managing the specific challenges your child faces with their cerebral palsy.
