RakstsFor inspiration
Every family in the association has walked the difficult path of coming to terms with a child's condition; we know what it is to pull yourself together in moments of exhaustion, to weep with heartache, to learn to smile while knowing that life will never be the way it was before — and so we want to share the discoveries that have managed to inspire us and let us see the world with a slightly brighter gaze. These are films, books and stories that at some moment may help, or quite simply create a good feeling.

Frequently asked questions
For volunteers
How can I help the association as a volunteer?
Volunteers can help with organising events, activities for children, creating informational materials, fundraising campaigns, maintaining social media and other projects of the association. Every contribution matters.
Do I need previous experience of working with children with motor disabilities?
No. What matters most is the desire to help, a respectful attitude and a willingness to learn. Where needed, the association provides information and helps you get to know the children's needs.
Can a volunteer also help remotely?
Yes. You can help remotely too — for example, with communications, social media content, project support, translation, design or preparing informational materials.
Why is volunteer support so important?
For families raising children with motor disabilities, it means a great deal to feel that society sees, accepts and supports them. Volunteers help create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for children and their families.
Can pupils and students get involved too?
Yes. Young people who want to gain experience, help at events or take part in social projects and initiatives can also get involved with the association.
For families
What is the association "Latvian Children with Motor Disabilities"?
The association "Latvian Children with Motor Disabilities" is an organisation that provides informational, emotional and practical support to children with motor disabilities and their families across Latvia. The association's goal is to help families feel heard, informed and not left alone with everyday challenges.
What kind of help can the association offer families?
The association helps families find information about rehabilitation, assistive devices, education options and state and municipal support. It also organises support activities, events and parent communities, and helps families connect with specialists and with other families in a similar situation.
Can I turn to the association even if a diagnosis was made recently?
Yes. Many parents turn to the association precisely after receiving a diagnosis, when there are many questions and uncertainties. The association helps you navigate the first steps, understand the support available in Latvia and receive emotional support from people who have been through a similar experience.
Does the association only help children with severe motor disabilities?
No. The association supports families with motor disabilities of varying degrees of severity — from milder movement and coordination difficulties to complex diagnoses requiring long-term rehabilitation and daily care.
How do I become a member of the association or get information?
You can contact the association through the website or social media. Families can subscribe to news and events and receive information about available support, projects and activities.
Would you like to share your experience?
Your journey can inspire another family. Share your story or join our team of volunteers.
