The First Steps Fund
We'd like you to be one of the family...
The PACE Centre is a family charity, and early years Parent and
Child (P&C) has been created to transform the lives of young
children with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy.
P&C gives these children, aged from 6 months to 4 years, the very
best start in life. It offers hope and support to the whole family.
Children at P&C have complex difficulties. Everyday skills such as sitting, standing, walking, using their hands,
communicating, self-care activities and playing with toys, are all very challenging. P&C is inspired by Conductive
Education(CE) and sees the child as a ‘whole person.’
PACE’s trans-disciplinary staff bring together the specialist skills
of CE, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech & Language Therapy.
P&C provides three key elements...
• Foundation skills for life, enabling children to later access the educational curriculum
• Parents gain knowledge and understanding of their child’s needs
• Parents acquire support and motivation from the whole group
Please take a moment to watch this short film (below), about Caroline and Caitlin. Caroline is mum of Caitlin, aged 4 who has just 'graduated' from P&C. Caroline descibes how Caitlin had to work incredibly hard to learn how to do everything many other children take for granted.
