Cerebral Palsy & Play Centre

Enhances mobility, independence, and overall development for individuals with Cerebral Palsy.

Overview

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a non-progressive neurological condition caused by damage to the developing brain, usually before or around birth. It affects movement, posture, muscle tone, and coordination, with varying levels of motor challenges. Some individuals may also experience associated conditions such as intellectual disabilities, seizures, or difficulties with speech, vision, or hearing.

At Spandan’s Cerebral Palsy & Play Centre, we offer structured therapeutic and play-based interventions to support physical, cognitive, and social development while promoting functional independence.

Hello

So far, 8 children from Spandan School have been successfully integrated into regular schools. To ensure a smooth transition:

• Spandan provides hand-holding support to the new school and teachers for 3-4 months.

• This support helps the child adjust comfortably to the new environment and teaching methods. Spandan School has also established tie-ups with government and private schools, creating a supportive pathway for inclusion, making the transition easier for both children and parents.
