Empowers Learners with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
Cerebral Palsy (CP) can present challenges for children in various aspects of their development. From communication to motor skills, everyday activities might require additional support. However, with the right tools and approach, learning can be an engaging and empowering experience.
What is Cerebral Palsy (CP)?
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a condition that affects movement, muscle tone, posture and sometimes speech and language skills. For children, this can mean challenges with walking, coordination, communication and other physical activities. Each child with CP is unique; some may have mild symptoms, while others may need more assistance. Despite these challenges, many children with CP enjoy playing, learning, and participating in family and school activities with the right support and care.
Designed with CP in mind.
Many children with Cerebral Palsy have great and mischievous personalities, which is why HelpKidzLearn is a great fit. We want our software to be just right for learners of all abilities, so we work closely with Teachers, Therapists and Special Educators when creating and updating our software. Our activities are designed to promote independence, support choice-making, and be engaging and entertaining without the added pressure of everyday life. With a wide range of products to choose from, that all work with a wide range of accessibility options such as eye gaze, we make learning fun and inclusive.
Educational games for Cerebral Palsy.
What better way to develop access skills than through play? HelpKidzLearn is all about making learning fun and easy for children with Cerebral Palsy. It allows them just to be children playing and learning without any fuss. Our educational Games & Activities help to engage learners with CP in a fun and interactive way, promoting cognitive development, whilst improving motor skills through play. For example, a young learner at Sandfield School in Liverpool used our Games & Activities software to develop switch skills, which wowed their teachers when they went on to use a food mixer using the switch skills they had learned.
Personalised Learning with ChooseIt Maker.
Our ChooseIt Maker software is perfect for learners with CP due to how personalised each activity can be made for them. For CP users who may struggle with processing auditory information, we include clear visuals with colours and contrast options available. You can also upload photos or images to build activities that are familiar to your learners, such as family and friends or characters they enjoy. It’s great for helping with communication too, with over 30,000 symbols to choose from, including Widgit Symbols, SymbolStix Symbols, and symbols from Inclusive Technology. It also includes text-to-speech options too.
Multi-sensory story telling for learners with Cerebral Palsy.
Inclusive Stories has been specially designed to create collectively enjoyable experiences that engage all story explorers whilst making learning environments fun, meaningful and interactive when you include sensory resources. Additionally, they transform and update the humble sensory story into an adaptable Inclusive Story, by providing modern, vibrant storytelling methods including all access methods crucial for children with Cerebral Palsy.
Accessibility is at the heart of what we do.
For many children with Cerebral Palsy, fatigue can significantly impact them physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally, affecting their daily activities. At HelpKidzLearn, our intention is to lighten many of these everyday challenges. With HelpKidzLearn software, you can create a student profile that sets the preferred method of access, whether it's eye-gaze, touch screen, switches, mouse or keyboard. You can also adjust settings and personalise activities to match each child's specific needs and sensory preferences. By offering different access methods and reducing barriers, our goal is to enable children to access our software in the easiest way possible, making these activities enjoyable without the challenges of daily life.
Tracking progress.
We know that every milestone is a cause for celebration! HelpKidzLearn tools like Insight, ChooseIt Maker and Readymades allow you to track and monitor a learner’s progress over time. This data can help you set goals, personalise activities even further, and create a truly individualised learning experience. At HelpKidzLearn, we believe that every child deserves the chance to explore, learn, and grow. By making our software accessible and engaging for children with Cerebral Palsy, we hope to help them open up their world, a little bit at a time.
