Clinic brings hope to parents of Special Needs children

-

Philadelph­ia based clinic the Family Hope Center are holding a three day conference to help parents learn how they can stimulate their special needs child’s developmen­t through their neural pathways.

The centre have been coming to Ireland for several years now to teach parents how they can have an impact on their child’s personal developmen­t and become the most qualified therapist to care for their child. The three day conference will take place in April this year in the CityNorth Hotel in Gormanston.

IN Ireland at the moment there are 100,000 children in primary and secondary schools with a learning difficulty.

‘AT The Family Hope Center, we use an evidence-based approach tailored to address the root causes of each child’s specific neurologic­al delays,’ said Matthew Newell, Director and Founder of The Family Hope Center.

DURING the three-day education session, specialist­s and clinicians guide parents through an understand­ing of the complex brain, evaluating their cihld’s neurologic­al ability and learning practical ways they can improve their child’s quality of life in their own home. Parents will engage in the scientific approach to child brain developmen­t, demonstrat­ions and discussion­s about their child’s neurology, as well as a primer on the therapies that parents can conduct at home to enhance their children’s intellectu­al, physical, sensory, auditory, emotional and social skills. Doctors and clinicians across 14 fields of medicine and therapies contribute to this symposium.
