An Interdisciplinary Model of Treatment of Children with Cerebral Palsy in Poland. Recommendations of the Paediatric Rehabilitation Section of the Polish Rehabilitation Society.

Medical rehabilitation plays an important leading role in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Collaboration between specialists in medical rehabilitation and the rehabilitation team is a prerequisite for good medical care. The quality of medical services for children with CP depends chiefly on the level of expertise of the treatment team. Through training of specialists and sharing of knowledge, we can help more patients. This idea was developed and implemented by Dr Ewa Kooyman-Piskorz, the founder and president of Wandafonds Foundation. Between 2003 and 2014, Dutch specialists working with children with CP conducted a number of training workshops in Poland under the supervision of the Polish Rehabilitation Society and Prof. Jules Becher, a world-famous expert in the rehabilitation of children. Based on these experiences, we present the recommendations of the Paediatric Rehabilitation Section of the Polish Rehabilitation Society regarding an interdisciplinary model of treatment of children with CP in Poland.
