As a family, we have found Cerebral Palsy Cymru so helpful. The sessions have been very educational, and the emotional support we have received has also been truly amazing.

Harlow's Story
The early intervention service has given us clear guidance and practical activities to support Harlow at home. Their help has made a big difference in understanding her needs and in accessing further services. Harlow’s therapy sessions have truly been life-changing for her and for us as a family.

Rosie's Story
Even waiting in reception, we could see other families who were in similar situations, and we felt a sort of sense of belonging. We just felt less alone.

Ella's Story
The support and guidance we have received from the team at Cerebral Palsy Cymru has been excellent. Ella is currently on track with her milestones and Ella’s development is a great example of what early intervention can do.
