Future Goals
-
We are
currently working on having local support meetings here in
Lacey Washington. We hope that our fundraiser will allow for
us to allow for some fun and exciting events.
-
To provide a clinic in which
professionals volunteer their time to see children in
different areas of the country, as a link for parents to
receive information that will give them the option and
knowledge of their next steps in their child's development.
-
To educate all currant
professionals and interns
(medical, social, legal)
that deal with individuals with CP and other disabilities
about the true expectations and facts that we deal with
everyday. To provide them with a realistic understanding of
Cerebral Palsy.
-
To provide an equipment bank
where parents can exchange outgrown equipment, clothes,
orthotics, shoes, etc for the use of other children that may
need them.
-
We are hoping to find a
sponsor or have fund raisers to help us with "Parent's Night
on the Town" and other projects we would like to have here
at CPN, to give our members a special night all of their
own. If someone would like to donate their services or time
please drop us a line.

Goals Reached
-
Our "Regional Directors"
program is getting an overhaul in effort to try and make it
a more useful program for our members and our Directors.
Look for all the new enhancements as they happen.
-
By having our chat room we
have helped parents by having veteran parents and Adults
with CP hold discussions as a training session with other
parents. Using their experiences as a golden opportunity to
teach and educate others valuable lessons early.
-
Some of the future
discussions will be training in child care of special needs
children in the areas of your CP specific training (spastic,
Microcephaly, etc)
tube feeding, seizures,
uplifting and encouraging your child despite the outlook of
the situation. ROM, adaptive equipment. Getting the answers
you need from your physician, developing a positive
relationship with all the people in your child’s life, and
How to connect all these people together efficiently.
Organizing your child's medical records, coordinating your
life and taking time out for yourselves
-
By having our on-line support
group, we have given our members a way to communicate, ask
questions, get support, just talk and develop friendships.
