DEVELOPMENT OF SUPPORTIVE PACKAGES FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS OF CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY (03-18 AGE GROUP)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010,

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a disorder of muscle control which results from some damage to part of the brain. Functional deficiencies that develop depending on physical , cognitive, sensory, emotional and social disorders of children with CP bring quite a difficult life and cohesion problem with the rest of the community. Treatment of CP requires multidimensional approaches and various actors have to work jointly; CP children, parents&teachers are important actors in that process. Therefore, the project has targeted both the parents and teachers of CP children. Particularly, parents of them are affected mostly in their daily lives as they spend mostly with their children to meet their needs. They sometimes feel anger, grief, disbelief, stress and hopeless. In addition, they also face problems in society because of having disable children such as social exclusion,discrimination,intolerance and lack of empathy etc. Teachers are important in educational life of CP children however they don't have adequate knowledge, experiences, competencies on how to cope with CP children in classroom by considering actual abilities, skills&problems of them. Thus, the aim of this project is to improve actual approaches on supporting parents and teachers to cope with CP children. Training modules for parents and teachers of CP children in EU standards will be main output of the project and they will be prepared in English&also languages of partner countries. The other complementary outputs will be project web site, web based information platform, leaflet, articles&e-newsletters.Knowledge&competences of parents&teachers of children with CP will be improved to cope with CP children by CP- PACK project. In addition, they'll learn&share different approaches, strategies, services, good practices and assistive technologies for coping with CP children with other families&colleagues. At the end, quality of life of CP children,their parents and teachers will be increased in some contexts.
