Have a Kid with Cerebral Palsy? Dare To Dream!

Never Give Up On Your Dreams!

“kya ab koi umeed nahi hai?” I asked upon learning about my daughter’s diagnosis of cerebral palsy in 2018. I knew my daughter might have problems, she was born prematurely, but I never imagined the hitches that lay ahead.
Though my daughter- Mia seemed fine at first, after several months, I started to notice that sometimes Mia seemed very floppy, almost like a rag doll. Other times, she seemed to stiffen. I knew that she didn’t reach the same growth and motor milestones as my older daughter.
My worries and fears:
Two types of attitudes can be adopted as a result of future thinking: positive or negative. Therefore, the next emotions tied to thinking about the future are optimism and anxiety. They are interrelated and may differ in frequency. The influence of one kind over the other is either negative or positive for the human.
Most if not all, parents develop wishes, expectations, and dreams for their children, even before the child is born. At a minimum, parents wish for a healthy baby (“We don’t care whether it’s a boy or a girl, just as long as it’s healthy” is the cliché that is repeated over and over), and we assume that it will be so. The discovery that the desired child has impairment can be seen as destroying the parent’s hopes and dreams. Questions started creeping my head like I was a child trapped alone in a dark room. Worries like:
  • Can a child with cerebral palsy live a normal life? What is the leading cause of cerebral palsy?
  • How do I know if my child has cerebral palsy?
  • Does cerebral palsy get worse with age?
  • Can children with CP walk?
  • Is Cerebral Palsy painful?
  • What is the best treatment for cerebral palsy?
  • Does cerebral palsy qualify for disability?
Numerous doctor appointments later, my daughter was eventually diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I went to the Internet right away to search for anything and everything about cerebral palsy. Ahhh… Infinite questions and so few answers and without the authenticity to rely on.  I felt irritated by the limited information I could find that precisely addressed the needs of parents.
I expressed my frustrations to Mia’s orthopaedic surgeon, who connected me with another parent of a child with cerebral palsy. My new-found partner in distress, Neha, and I set out how to help educate other families on prevention and treatment. But we weren’t sure where to start. We read about spina bifida, a disabling birth defect of the spine, and about the discovery that folic acid can help reduce it. That’s what we want our ‘folic acid’ something that could help prevent cerebral palsy, I said. We find out that without knowing the root causes, we cannot avoid and treat cerebral palsy. 
At such a young age, it was hard to watch Mia go through the pain of two major orthopaedic surgeries, but we knew it was necessary to help her walk. 
Mia is flourishing today, but I know there are going to be many challenges ahead. I dare to dream, like all parents, that my daughter will go to college and have a meaningful life.

New Year's Resolutions: 6 Tips For Super Parents of Special Need Kids!

You are a Super Mom!

Goodbye bad habits, welcome good habits.
It’s New Year’s Eve and everyone is excited.
Everyone is busy deciding what to wear tonight, busy on their phones in WhatsApp groups – finalizing the venue of celebrations, busy taking selfies while waiting for their turn in the salon. Busy busy…
At the same time, everyone is very optimistic about the brand New Year that will come tonight when the clock strikes 12.
Enter the New Year, and all of our New Year Resolutions will kick in. Many will quit smoking, many will stop drinking and a lot many will start exercising to lose weight. A few of them will actually make it, a lot will forget their resolution within a week, if not less.
Maa, a super-parent is one of many who has New Year Resolutions. But she isn’t busy planning for a party or getting ready in a salon. She is different, you know, she belongs in the rare 0.3% club. Yet, she is busy with someone else – no, not her boyfriend or husband.
She is with Beti, a child with Cerebral Palsy.
3 infants in every 1000 live childbirths in India are born with Cerebral Palsy. Beti was one of them.
As a parent, Maa is selfless – is worried about Beti and wants her daughter to be happy, healthy and ever-smiling. Maa is very positive and highly motivated about the New Year ahead and has made a list of New Year Resolutions for her and her daughter.
I asked Maa if she could share the list. She did so, gladly. Here’s the list for you:
6 Basic New Year’s Resolutions for a Parent of a Child with Special Needs/ Cerebral Palsy
1. Stay Motivated
Staying motivated is the foundation for all the New Year Resolutions ahead. No motivation = No resolutions.
If you want to drive only 1 resolution as a parent, it should be motivation.
For parents of a child with Cerebral Palsy or any other form of disability, motivation is a rare commodity. Lack of positivity, the abundance of negative thoughts and worries kill motivation, that can have a snowball effect on your mental health.
It is natural to worry about the future, but remember – the future has to pass through the present. Your present will lead to future, so focus on the present, make the present better and happier.
How do I stay motivated when I see my child suffering every day?
Your child is not suffering as much as your thinking is suffering. In fact, he or she is happy that her parents are present to take care of them, to play with them, to make them happy!
Write down on all good things that happen daily, even tiny good things and thank god for the same.
2. Stay Happy
Amid regular therapy appointments, doctor visits and concerns about the physical health and social growth of a child, remembering to be happy, often fall to the side-lines. But to find their happiness, it turns out parents don’t have to look far.
To be happy should be a top priority for us all, not the last option. When someone loses sight of how to be happy and what it means to find happiness in every circumstance – it drains their hope
If you stop caring for yourself, you will lose sanity, become easily irritable, frustrated, and always in a bad mood.
Get smaller bits of happiness throughout the day as medicine to stay healthy. Spend some time with your spouse, watch a comedy movie or a TV show, or simply do what you liked doing before you became a mother. You may not have enough time to do everything every day, but try arranging some time when your child is with a caretaker, is sleeping or is involved in some activity.
Those small doses of happiness should be enough to keep you in a good mood and mental health.
3. Check for newer therapies
Science is evolving every day, so don’t blindly follow what others follow.
Keep yourself up to date through reading the latest developments in therapies and treatments for special needs kids.
You can set Google Alerts for keywords like Cerebral Palsy and Special Needs Kids, Google will then alert you via email every time there is news on the topic.
But be cautious, don’t believe in anything until you research the information on multiple sources. Lastly, speak to your occupational pediatrician before you follow a new therapy/ treatment.
In addition, specialized counselling of yourself conducted by a qualified clinical therapist can introduce you approaches in dealing with stress when it arises. Counselling can also enable you to support your child with day-to-day experiences and activities, particularly those that can cause stress or unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Check with your doctor for guidance in finding counselors who are trained in supporting parents of children with special needs.

Does Your Child have Vestibular disorders?

4. Teach a new activity
Teach something new to your child as per his/ her capabilities.
Try teaching painting, piano, guitar or even creating art from clay. A new activity will give that much-required change in the boring routine of your child and keep him/her happy.
Once you notice that your child is showing signs of boredom, it is time to teach a new activity.
You are the best teacher for your child as you know him/ her more than anyone else does. Adapt your teaching pace accordingly and know the safety limits.
5. Make new friends
If your child goes to a school for kids with special needs, this becomes an easy task – befriending moms of other special needs children. Or else, you may find new friends when you are waiting for your turn during a routine appointment with an occupational paediatrician.
In fact, most cities have local groups where parents of children with disabilities can come together to discuss problems and challenges they face. Not only does this provide you with a way to help vent your emotions, but it also helps you to link with people who are going through the same things.
If meeting in person is an obstacle, there are a variety of support networks online, mostly free, that can provide an outlet for you to connect with other parents and/or caregivers
You can also make a WhatsApp group or Facebook group of parents from your city. Motivate and help each other, share good and bad experiences, latest developments, etc.. in the group. Staying in touch with a community of similar parents will give you that extra boost of support and morale.
It really is important to establish a support system consisting of families, friends and neighbours who can provide emotional and pragmatic support.
6. Health insurance
Firstly, get a health insurance plan for your child and yourself to be safe from bill shocks. Getting health insurance for yourself would be easy, getting one for your child may be difficult through private insurance providers. For your kid, enrol in Nirmaya Health Insurance Scheme launched by the Government of India.
Medical expenses are getting more expensive every year, so it would be better to be covered.
What’s next?
There could be 100s of NEW things you could try next year but ensure you do implement the 6 of the above resolutions.
Of course, you may need to adapt the list as per your situation, you may not be in the same situation as Maa. Be flexible with everything to stay happy.
All in all, don’t lose focus on your own needs, stay happy, positive, be a part of a community, keep your knowledge up-to-date and invest in health insurance to cover medical expenses. Be a Super-Parent 
To summarize it,
Let’s try to remember these markers. Write them down on sticky notes and put it in a place where you habitually see it:
  1. Stay motivated! I will endorse my feelings and honour them, I will live in the PRESENT!
  2. Stay Happy! If only five minutes a day, I will have fun! I will distinctly remember laughing at least once a day.
  3. Stay up-to-date! I will look for newer therapies for my child & yourself on a regular basis.
  4. New Activities! I will concentrate on the strengths of my child, not shortcomings. Teach them something new!
  5. Stay Social! I will look for new friends, create a new social circle for support and boost my morale!
  6. Be smart! I will manage Finances, take up health insurance for my child and me!
  7. Recollect! I will recollect each day’s ‘silver lining’. I will have hope, above everything and anything else.
Wish you all the happiness in the years to come.

Cerebral Palsy and Where to get help on CP in India!

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral Palsy is a life-long physical disorder that affects people in many different ways. It covers a group of disorders affecting a child’s body movement, ability to control their muscles, coordination, reflexes, posture, balance and sometimes ability to communicate.

Cerebral palsy can be so severe that walking is difficult, or it can be so mild that it is unnoticeable to most people. Some children with cerebral palsy might have epilepsy, hearing, learning and visual difficulties and intellectual impairments. Cerebral palsy can’t be cured, but the problems it causes can be.
In India, around 3 in 1000 babies are born with Cerebral palsy.

How does one come to know if the child has CP?




There is no single test to diagnose cerebral palsy. It can’t be detected during pregnancy, but proper medical care during pregnancy and birth can help to reduce the risk. Babies with CP might have muscle stiffness and spasms, or they might have low muscle tone so that they feel ‘floppy’ when picked up.

The condition is often picked up when a baby or toddler doesn’t meet the expected developmental milestones for their age. So signs in babies to look out include:

-inability to hold up their heads at the right stage

-inability to sit up or rollover at the right stage

-difficulty feeding or swallowing

-using one side of their body in preference to the other

-Toddlers with cerebral palsy may not reach typical milestones such as walking by 18 months and speaking simple sentences by three years of age.

What are the causes of CEREBRAL PALSY during pregnancy?




  • Maternal infections
Maternal infection is an infection acquired by the mother who then transmits the infection to the fetus. This transmission can occur via the placenta before delivery or via the birth canal during labor and delivery when the baby is exposed to maternal blood.
So it is very important to be away from infectious diseases and maintain hygiene during pregnancy. Any illness should be immediately reported to a doctor for timely treatment.

  • Genetic Mutations
Cerebral Palsy is not a hereditary condition, but certain abnormal changes in the structure of genes can cause Cerebral Palsy. Risk factor of these abnormal genetic changes increases in marriages of close relatives.

  • Fetal Hypoxia
Fetal hypoxia occurs when the fetus is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen. It may be due to a variety of reasons such as cigarette smoke if either mother herself smokes during the pregnancy or is exposed to secondhand smoke. It can also be caused by various physical conditions like obstruction of air passage due to tangling of umbilical cord or direct injury to the fetus.


What are the possible treatment options for Cerebral Palsy?

1) Physiotherapy

2) Speech therapy, which can help with speech, eating and drinking difficulties

3) Management of hearing and vision impairment

4) Occupational therapy

5) Behavioural therapy or counselling

6) Special education

7) Medication

8) Surgery

"Laws Protecting & Defending the Rights of the Special Need Population"


The Core Value of human rights mission underpins a system of basic freedoms that affords protection against the abuse of power and creates space for the development of the human spirit. Four Values- Dignity, Autonomy, Equality and Solidarity are of particular importance, both in general terms and in the context of Disability. Over 600 million people or approximately 10℅ of the world’s population have disabilities of one or other form. Over the last 2 decades, a drastic shift took place from an approach motivated by charity towards the disabled to one based on rights. The human rights perspective on disability means viewing people with disability as a subject and not as an object. It involves moving away from viewing people with disability as a problem towards viewing them as holders of rights. People with disabilities must be afforded freedom but also the means to take advantage of it. This can be done by providing relevant social support and in particular by respecting economics, social and cultural rights. The main human rights challenge is accommodating the difference of disability and making people with a disability visible within the system. 

Protection against Exploitation and Discrimination 

Disabled persons shall be protected against all exploitation, all regulations and all treatment of a discriminatory, abusive or degrading nature. 

Disabled persons shall be able to avail themselves of qualified legal aid that proves indispensable for the protection of their person and property. 

If judicial proceedings are instituted against them, the legal procedure applied shall take their physical and mental condition into account. 

Disabled persons, their families and communities shall be fully informed, by all appropriate means, of the rights contained in this Declaration. 

Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 

Of late, the Government of India has enacted a comprehensive piece of legislation namely. "the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995" to enforce the human rights of the disabled in pursuance of the UN Declaration. This law is an important landmark and will ensure equal opportunities for persons with disabilities and their full participation in the nation-building. The Act provides for both preventive and promotional aspects of rehabilitation like education, employment and vocational training, reservation, research-creation of barrier-free environment, rehabilitation for persons with a disability, unemployment allowance for the disabled, special insurance scheme for the employees and establishment of homes for persons with severe disability, etc. The Act has been enforced w.e.f. 07.02. 1996. All the state governments have been requested to take necessary steps for speedy implementation of the provisions of the Act. 
National Handicapped Finance and Development Corporation 

The Government has also set up a National Handicapped Finance and Development Corporation with an authorised share capital of Rs. 400 crores and paid-up share capital of Rs. 200 crores to make persons with disabilities productive and bring them into the mainstream of economic activity. 

National Human Rights Commission 

India being the signatories to the Human Rights Charter of the United Nations, constituted a high powered Commission namely, National Human Rights Commission to protect not only human rights of citizens but also of all categories of disabled persons. The Commission also deals with the violation of human rights as well as protection against exploitation, discrimination etc. 

In the absence of a proper forum to take up the cases on behalf of disabled persons before the National Human Rights Commission, the disabled have not so far taken any advantage from the Commission. Hence there is an urgent need that some organized groups of people should come forward to help the disabled in taking up their cases pertaining to violation of rights and exploitation and discrimination against them. 

The following measures for creating awareness and removing ignorance are suggested: 

(a) It is desirable that students from primary level should be introduced with the subject of the disability to enable them to develop better understanding towards the disablement over a period of time. Obviously, proper awareness and understanding is absolutely necessary to treat them on equal footing or at par with normal human beings and offer them the opportunities to unfold their capabilities without any exploitation and discrimination. 

(b) The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment should take up the matter with the Ministry of HRD; University Grant Commission (UGC) and All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) regarding introduction of the subject on disability in all academic and professional courses in the country. This will also generate goodwill for the disablement, besides development of better understanding. 

(c) The NGOs can also play a vital role in removing ignorance and creating awareness about the rights of the disabled through constant efforts and programmes. 

(d) Mass media, like newspapers, radio, TV and films may also be helpful in dispelling the prejudices and discriminations against the education, placement and rehabilitation of the disabled by depicting success stories of the people with disabilities. 

Hence, this laws and rights help the Special Need Population of people with intellectual disabilities to live a meaningful, satisfying & productive life in our community.

AN INSPIRING STORY ON WORLD DISABILITY DAY


International Day of People with Disabilities i.e. 3rd December is considered as an international observance day promoted by the United Nations since the year 1992. This day especially aims for promoting an understanding of disability issues or problems and to mobilize support for the moment of dignity, the well-being of people and the rights of the people with disabilities. This day also looks forward to increasing the awareness of the gins to be derived from the integration of persons with their disabilities in every aspect of cultural, political, economic and social life.




As we talk about Disability and dreams, here's a question for all. Can you imagine someone whose legs have been affected by polio and cannot walk participating in a sport like a powerlifting at an international platform that requires extreme power and physical strength? Mr. Rajinder Singh Rahelu is the answer to this question.

Mr. Rahelu is an Indian Paralymic Powerlifter suffering from "Infantile Paralysis". Since his infancy he has not been able to walk. But he did not let his disability come in between him and his dreams. He continued to practice and today, he has created a history of his own by winning a silver medal in powerlifting at the Common Wealth Games 2014. He initially started by lifting a weight of 75kgs but his rigorous training and motivation made him enough to actually lift a weight of 115kgs in a period of 6 months. After grabbing his 1st medal in the field of powerlifting in 1997 at Punjab Open Meet, he never looked back. In the next consecutive year, he won National Powerlifting Championship which gave a great push to his career and life and his achievements have never stopped after that.

He never let his disability stop him, he kept on overcoming the life challenges with his immense dedication and devotion. Today he is a successful coach at Government of Punjab's Sports Department. He is also training the specially-abled powerlifters.

It is the disability heroes like Rahelu that keep us inspired during our lowest days in life. On this Disability Day, we can see him as an inspiration to the 180 million specially-abled Indians to overcome the impact of their disability on their lives!!!

Effectiveness of Transpact’s Vestibulator - An interview with Dr Maya Nanavati

This is a short interview with Dr Maya Nanavati (Occupational Physiotherapist) and her views about Transpact Vestibulator.

What is Transpact’s Vestibulator?

Vestibulator is a compact, fully automated medical device which is ergonomically designed to provide stimulation for vestibular, neurodevelopmental and sensory integration therapy.
These automated and precisely measured stimulations are time saving and more effective compared to manual vestibular stimulations.

Who is Dr Maya Nanavati?
Dr Maya Nanavati is an Occupational Therapist with more than 40 years of experience in Neurology and Paediatric Rehabilitation. She is one of the founders of POSAT foundation (hyperlink to http://www.posatfoundation.in/), a charitable organization which provides rehabilitation and education to physically and mentally challenged children and adults. We are honoured to have her as a Clinical Advisor for Transpact Enterprises.


The Interview:
Hello Dr Nanavati, please tell us more about POSAT-
Posat foundation is a charitable organisation working for the upliftment of physically and mentally challenged children and adults. The trust runs a rehab. centre in Borivali West and special classes for challenged children in Rustomjee International School in Dahisar west and Balbharti School Kandivali West. The Rehab. Centre caters the therapeutic management to the children suffering from cerebral palsy, mental retardation due to any cause including genetic condition like Down syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD and Learning Disability. 

What do you feel about Transpact Enterprises and the Vestibulator?
Transpact had installed the vestibulator at the centre in December 2017 to check its efficacy in the therapeutic management of children affected with different neurological dysfunction. Later on the equipment may be modified for adults needing the management.
The first pilot study was designed to find out the influence of therapy on vestibulator on reflex responses of children suffering from cerebral palsy. The outcome of the pilot study gave positive results. (Reference - Link http://transpact.in/clinical-study-reports/)
Luckily, by the grace of God, we could purchase a modified version of vestibulator from a donation under CSR scheme of a company named Play games 24x7 on 29th July 2018.

How do you use Transpact’s Vestibulator?
The vestibulator is continuously used for most of the children treated at the centre excluding children suffering from epilepsy. The therapists and the parents of ADHD children and Autistic children have observed a remarkable positive change in their children. The symptoms of hyperactivity and poor attention span reduce drastically with treating the child on vestibulator for 10 minutes during the regular sensory integration therapy session. About 80 children attending the centre are treated on vestibulator in last ten months. 


Will you continue the use of Transpact’s Vestibulator in future?
Yes, We are awaiting further modified equipment within a month or so which will enable us to carry out scientific studies on the influence of Vestibulator on children with Autism, ADHD and Learning Disability. 
We indeed congratulate Transpact and wish the company all the best for the success in launching Vestibulator in open market.
