The title of the Talk was:
‘A Better Understanding of Children with Cerebral Palsy and similar Neuro-developmental Conditions’
Speaker: Jean-Pierre Maes MCSP, Consultant Neurodevelopmental Physiotherapist,
Director MAES Therapy International, London
Jean-Pierre presented and analysed videos and introduced the M.A.E.S. Therapy Framework, which equips therapists with tools about how to progress in treatment and explains therapeutic principles to parents. There was discussion about cerebral palsy symptoms and cerebral palsy diagnosis and early therapy treatment cerebral palsy.
M.A.E.S. Therapy is a unique and dynamic approach which allows for a very specific, individualised approach to therapy. Each child has individual needs, skills, limitations and possibilities and therefore needs a very individual treatment. Rather than just treat the visible symptoms, it makes you look at it from the perspective of the child and explains why the child moves as he does.
“M.A.E.S. Therapy is a completely different way of thinking and approach to treatment, compared to Bobath-NDT and other approaches.“
