Any child up to the age of 18 living in Scotland with a primary diagnosis of cerebral palsy can access regular specialist therapy sessions.
We are only able to offer regular therapy thanks to the continuous fundraising efforts of our supporters. Find out how you can get involved in fundraising for Cerebral Palsy Scotland.
Our approach to therapy
Providing therapy using the Bobath concept is at the heart of what we do at Cerebral Palsy Scotland. Find out about our approach to therapy.
How does regular therapy work?
Regular therapy allows your child to access therapy sessions with a specialist therapist for £95 per session. (Compared to the full session cost of £175).
Please note that if more than one therapist is present at a session, this may increase the cost.
Please see our Guidance on funding to find out about the different ways in which the cost of therapy can be met.
How many sessions does my child need?
You and your child will first be invited for an initial virtual assessment, at no cost to you.
This assessment with a member of our therapy team gives you a chance to discuss your child’s condition, any current concerns or goals you have, and to find out whether therapy might be helpful for you.
Following this, you and your therapist will agree on the number of sessions required.
The amount of sessions can be reassessed and increased if needed.
Where and when will sessions take place?
Sessions typically take place at our centre in Glasgow, but could also be in other settings. For example this could include a home visit, or a visit to your child’s nursery or school.
These visits can be very helpful to ensure any recommendations made are appropriate within different contexts. Please note that any visits that take place outside our centre are booked as double sessions to include staff travel time.
Regular children’s therapy runs within the financial year, which means sessions must be used between 1 April – 31 March of any given year.
