Cerebral Palsy Care

IAN Institute of Rehabilitation and Research:

IAN Institute of Rehabilitation & Research (IANIRR) has a dedicated Department of Cerebral Palsy Care that provides comprehensive rehabilitation services to children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP). CP is a non-progressive condition that affects a child’s ability to move and control their muscles. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, either before, during, or after birth.

IANIRR’s Cerebral Palsy Care Approach

IANIRR’s approach to cerebral palsy care is centered on providing individualized, family-centered care that addresses the specific needs of each individual with CP. Their team of experienced professionals, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and psychologists, works collaboratively to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that targets the child’s motor, cognitive, communication, and social-emotional development.
