The head of the physiotherapy department is Robert. With Robert, are two employed physiotherapists and volunteer physiotherapists who come from all over the world for a few months, for a year or sometimes even more. Thanks to the assistance to all of these special people, our children are improving motor-wise and for the very handicapped we are at least holding on to the motor functioning that each child has. Right now we have a physiotherapist who is a lung specialist in this field, and also a medical student who are assisting us to give the children quality of life.

learning to walk........
Seating a handicapped child correctly is very important. Some of our children wear corsettes to assist them in sitting correctly.
By sitting in the correct position, the child/adult is free to work with his hands. In this picture, one of our young men is communicating via the communication book of signs, made especially for him in the school.
Playing ball is another physiotherapy activity.
