Staff, interns and students from the Mother and Child Care Unit recently organised the first paediatric workshop to be held at CRP.

After welcoming the eighty or so multi-disciplinary audience, Hoseneara, Manager of the Unit gave a brief resume of the work carried out in the ten bedded centre. Other presentations followed: Therapy Through Play; Differences Between Treating Adults and Children; Feeding and Drinking; Hyper Hypo Sensitivity in Children.

After a tea break during which there was much informal discussion, the programme continued with talks on Cerebral Palsy; Children with Down’s Syndrome and Autism.

The afternoon was rounded off by a demonstration showing how static positions are linked together. Several students were involve in efficient general organisation.

It was felt that the afternoon had been a success and that it would pave the way for further paediatric workshops.
