Kids playing at the event
Cerebral Palsy Centre has advocated for funding to help take care of children with the disability. Trainings on how to care for such needs were also emphasised. This was disclosed at a visit to the centre by Women Optometrists in Nigeria (WON).
Founder Cerebral Palsy Centre, Nonye Nweke, said that by default most children in the centre are in severe spectrum of cerebral palsy, adding that some children asides from having cerebral palsy are faced with some interfacing health challenges while others just are just affected physically.
She noted that the centre majors on therapy, counseling, respite care, free accommodation and others. She however said there is a dearth in caring for such children with special needs.
