Why it’s so specialNot available to us in the UK through the NHSOr throughout Ireland’s Health SystemOn average our children get:
1 -2 hours per week of hands on intervention from Physiotherapists
Even if they attend schools where mobility is an issueThis is a lifeline to all of us
Recreating the ServiceJoan asked us to think if there was anything from
our experience at Peto that could improve the Summer School
After thinking long and hard......NOThe Peto Institute is the centre of excellenceThe Lighthouse Summer School is a centre of
excellence
Recreating the ServiceNo mean feat to recreate an excellent summer
