Association for Latvian Children with Movement Disabilities

Types of therapy

A multidisciplinary approach — for each child we create an individual combination of therapies from 10 different methods.

Physical therapy

Development of motor skills, posture and movement.

Physiotherapy

Focused on developing posture and movement through passive exercises and work on muscle flexibility.

Occupational therapy

Develops hand function and self-care abilities to increase independence, and offers advice on adapting the environment.

Orthopaedic therapy

Addresses muscle contractures and deformities through corrective measures (orthoses, surgery).

The Vojta method

Uses the activation of specific points to stimulate missing movement patterns appropriate to the child's stage of development.

Oral and speech therapy

Development of eating, speech and communication.

Oral and feeding therapy

Normalises oral sensitivity and movement control for independent eating and speech development.

Speech therapy

Work by experienced speech therapists, often with parents continuing the exercises at home.

Psychological and developmental therapy

Emotional wellbeing, social skills and educational development.

Developmental pedagogy

Social integration through developing perception, communication and behavioural skills.

Music and art therapy

Supports mental development and brings the personality into balance, encouraging confident activity.

Play therapy (Sandplay)

Supports mental development by allowing children to explore their environment in a safe play setting.

Biofeedback training

Medical devices help patients better control body functions — posture, gait and muscle tension.

How to choose the right therapies?

Therapies are chosen following an individual assessment carried out by our multidisciplinary team — a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, psychologist and doctor.

  • The assessment takes 1–2 visits
  • Based on the results, we create an individual programme
  • The programme is adjusted every 3 months
  • Parents are trained to continue the exercises at home
