dear Justynar,

The reason I answered this post was because I thought I could help. I am not a student or junior physio.
Just wanted to help a little

dear Esther,

thank you for such a precious advice. In the meantime I started to work with blind children (6-18 years old) affected with CP. So it's a little bit hard for a first job, but I hope, I will learn a lot. For now I'm trying to use some elements of Sensory Integration, when possible, some basics of Bobath method and passive movements. I know, you are very experienced with all types of peadiatrics rehabilitation, so maybe you could give me some tips, I should be aware of?
