JCI Manila launches project for cerebral palsy patients

JUNIOR Chamber International (JCI) Manila, a leadership development organization dedicated to creating positive change in communities, has launched Project CPAG (Cerebral Palsy Awareness Group) in line with Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month. The group aims to continue efforts on raising awareness on cerebral palsy and provide support for marginalized families with children who have cerebral palsy (CP).

Through Project CPAG's easy-to-read, three-part children's book series, families will have access to relevant medical practices such as the Bobath Approach, a type of physiotherapy treatment to improve movement and mobility in patients with damaged central nervous system. The books will be published in Filipino and will contain theories and illustrations of best practices by Dr. Pablo Beleen, a renowned international specialist in the treatment of cerebral palsy and pediatric rehabilitation.
