Physiotherapy Programme for Disabled Children at MBCN

Children with special needs often experience difficulties when it comes to their day-to-day functioning. Their mobility levels will not be at the same level as other children. This has a severe effect on the ability of these children to participate in activities at home, in school or in their local community. Limb deficiencies, genetic disorders, heart & lung conditions, muscle diseases etc. can be some of the conditions that prevent children from being as functional and mobile as others.

Our special educators work in conjunction with qualified physiotherapists to conduct all the daily activities that help the children achieve their optimal levels of functioning.

Research has shown that regular physiotherapy sessions for special children can be quite beneficial. They can help the special educators and physiotherapists understand the development of the child’s motor performance. These sessions can also provide an insight into the child’s cognitive development.
