Learn about cerebral palsy and explore practical tips and techniques that will help you develop a great inclusive environment at your sessions

Overview

Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects movement and coordination. It’s the most common motor disability in childhood. As exercise can help children with cerebral palsy avoid injury, and reduces the impact of associated disorders and illnesses, coaches have a valuable role to play in supporting people with cerebral palsy to enjoy taking part in physical activity and sport.

Through the course, you will gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence that you need to run inclusive and creative sessions that welcome people with cerebral palsy and give them a meaningful opportunity to take part and reach their goals.
