Our
services are focused on delivering knowledge about cerebral
palsy, treatments, facilities and specialists, and interacting
with people affected by cerebral palsy.
The main routes we use to deliver services are:
| ·
|
On-line
library and reading room
- Here we have articles, Booklets and Information Sheets
covering a range of issues on cerebral palsy. These are
available for reading and download in Adobe Acrobat .pdf
format. Many of the materials are available in a number
of our South African languages, such as Xhosa, Afrikaans,
Zulu, SeSotho, Sepedi and English. |

|
Service
provider database
- Organisations which provide products or services which
are intended to specifically benefit people affected by
cerebral palsy can register their details here. This includes
schools, care centers, stimulation centers, associations,
specialist therapists, medical specialists, suppliers
of assistive devices and research programmes.
This database can be searched by anyone looking for a
specific service or support in their local area. |
| |
|
| ·
|
Open
Forum on-line bulletin board
- This is our way of facilitating communication between
individuals and families affected by cerebral palsy, to
help build a support network. We also use this forum to
identify needs and problems that need to be addressed,
to help direct our activities and actions to where we
can make an impact. |
| |
|
| ·
|
Awareness
and Knowledge Campaigns - We organise and participate
in campaigns to provide knowledge on cerebral palsy to
people who need it, or to collect knowledge from people
and organisations. These campaigns are community-based
(for example through local support groups, schools and
clinics) as well as through companies and organisations. |
| |
|
| ·
|
Information Materials on Cerebral Palsy - We distribute
information materials in the form of Booklets, Information
Sheets and articles to communities and individuals as
part of our own campaigns, and to support the campaigns
launched by other organisations. |
| |
|
| ·
|
E-mail
and telephone / fax helpline - To provide access to
our services for the many individuals who do not have
access to the internet, we answer our telephone and talk
to them when they call. To meet their needs, we can distribute
our materials by regular mail and from our walk-in center
in Port Elizabeth. |
