Climate change affects rehabilitation and access to healthcare for children and adults with disabilities.

Especially for children with Cerebral Palsy in the rainy season, coming for Therapy is a costly bargain.

The right therapy for a child with a disability is less about "fixing" the child - they are not broken.
The right therapy is more about unlocking potential, improving functioning and providing them with the tools to navigate the world on their "own terms."

@kipkoecheruiyot We still need so much awareness about giving birth and disability related to prolonged labor,etc
English
Some time ago, I begged someone to consent to a cesarean section. There was a clear fetal indication for CS. She declined. She ultimately gave birth normally, but the baby didn’t score well.
She even celebrated that she had been coerced into a CS but ultimately gave birth normally, that is what she told fellow mothers in labour.
A year later, I met her, the child hasn’t even sat without support. I felt sad. I couldn’t even talk with her. Some things drain you emotionally.

@kipkoecheruiyot It’s not about "winning" or "losing" a birth plan; it’s about the next 50 years of that child's life. My heart is heavy for a future that could have been different. 💔🩺
