En santé pour toi

Being a parent of a disabled child brings a lot of challenges on a daily basis. My hope, by building this channel, is to be able to educate parents of children with special needs and provide them with resources so that they can continue to take care of themselves. take good care of their child without neglecting their own overall health.

I am a physiotherapist in a special needs school and also a trainer on the principles of safe patient handling for caregivers working with children. I have been supporting families of children with special needs for over 20 years. I see far to many parents with musculoskeletal problems because they are not informed about the right ways to provide care to their child without injuring themselves. I believe that, just like health professionals, parents of children with disabilities deserve to be trained in the principles of ergonomics in order to preserve their health.
