Our Campaign Story
ends 10 Dec 2022, 11:59 PMHi, I'm Yi Yu, a physiotherapist at Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore (CPAS). I joined CPAS 4 years ago as my first job after graduation. Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of disorders that affect a person' ability to move and maintain balance and posture. It is the most common disability in childhood.
As a physiotherapist, I help improve the gross motor skills of my clients through comprehensive assessment, customized intervention, and home exercise programs to clients as well as their caregivers. The difference between physio therapy work in the adult/geriatric setting and physio in the pediatric setting is the need to incorporate more 'play' type exercises during my sessions. That's why our PT gym is full of toys. Besides manual therapy (such as facilitation on gross motor/stretches), we utilize a lot of assistive devices (e.g. Different types of Kaye walker & pacer & tricycles) to improve their mobility skills. You can help us fund assistive devices for our clients with your generous contributions.
Our association started humbly over 65 years ago at the Field House at Gilstead road. Throughout the years, our association has expanded to serve more clients and provide more comprehensive services through the kind donations of people and organizations in our community. Our mission to serve those with cerebral palsy is only possible from donors like you.
In conjunction with World Cerebral Palsy Month in October, I'm making an appeal to donors like yourself to make a small
