Cerebral Palsy (CP) affects muscle tone, movement, and motor skills (the ability of children to move in a coordinated and purposeful way). CP typically results from brain damage that occurs before or during birth or during the first 3-5 years of life. This brain damage can also lead to other health issues, including vision, hearing, and speech problems, as well as learning disabilities.
There are three types of Cerebral Palsy:
Since cerebral palsy affects muscle control and coordination, even simple movements like standing and controlling head posture are extremely difficult. Other functions involving motor skills and muscles – such as breathing, sphincter control, swallowing, and speech – are also impaired or, in some cases, completely absent.
The brain damage caused by Cerebral Palsy can also impact other brain functions and lead to additional health problems:
By applying Bowen therapy, kinesiotherapy exercises, and integrative techniques, we help children with CP relax muscle spasms, control head posture and other extremities, regulate sphincter function, and improve swallowing, speech, and sleep.
Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties in various areas of development, particularly in communication and social relationships. It is categorized as a developmental disorder because symptoms appear early – it can be recognized as early as 18 months, and a full clinical picture usually develops by the age of three.
The main features of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) include difficulties in communication and interaction with others, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. Communication and interaction are marked by:
Autism is described as a spectrum disorder, meaning there is a wide variation in the type and severity of symptoms, and individual differences in functioning can be significant.
Autism is often considered a lifelong condition, which is why it is frequently referred to as a state rather than a disease. However, various treatments and services can improve symptoms and help individuals function better in their environment and with others.
It can be said that a person with autism lives in a limited, repetitive environment that provides safety and control. The goal of therapy is to help the person expand the boundaries of their own world, reduce tension from the constant feeling of being threatened and defensive towards others, and, through increased awareness—especially sensory—to experience life more fully in this world.
Timely recognition of the issue and early intervention can prevent the loss of the optimal developmental period for certain functions during the early developmental stage.
In our work, we use various methods to attract the child’s attention, activate empathy, stimulate articulation, and strengthen the bond between mother and child.
