Empowerment & Knowledge Building

Knowledge is power. For families living with cerebral palsy (CP), the right knowledge can mean the difference between isolation and inclusion, between despair and hope.

 

At GAPS, we believe that empowering caregivers, families, and the public with knowledge is the foundation for creating better lives for people with CP.

 

When caregivers understand CP better, they are more confident in supporting their children. When teachers and healthcare providers receive training, they can deliver better services. And when the public is educated, society becomes more inclusive.

 GREAT ACADEMY

GREAT (GAPS- Resource, Education, Awareness & Therapy) is a daily academic-therapy-life skills programme for students with CP aged between 6 – 25 years old who are not accepted in schools.  IEP (Individualised Education Plan) ensures the right adaptation, accommodation and modification on each student’s educational, rehabilitation, social and vocational skills.

The long term aim is to increase career opportunities and employability for people with CP.

At GAPS (Gabungan Anak-Anak Palsi Serebrum), we believe that every child with cerebral palsy is more than their diagnosis.
Behind every child, there is a family filled with love, worry, and endless hope.
Behind every family, there is a story of courage — of sleepless nights, of tears, but also of laughter and small victories that mean the world.
