HOW TO USE THIS SITE
Welcome to MyChild™. We hope to connect those touched by cerebral palsy with the information, resources, experts, and inspiration they need and their child deserves.
Over the years, the staff at MyChild™ has realized that those touched by cerebral palsy must know so very much about so very many topics that it becomes overwhelming.
We have developed the MyChild™ website and MyChild™ call center so those in need can not only find the information they require and gain assistance they need, but also have a way to organize a plan of care tailored to meet their specific needs.
To our humble surprise, many of these individuals have embraced our purpose, shared their experiences and ideas, referred their connections, and volunteered their expertise to build upon the MyChild™ information and resource database. Thanks to visitor input, our database is expanding and growing.
To date, our site is designed so visitors can learn about cerebral palsy, research a single topic, or build an important part of the child’s care plan. The site is not designed to be consumed in one visit, but rather to visit on occasion when an area of concern requires assistance.
In the months ahead, we will be compiling and sharing a comprehensive database of products, service providers, and experts to assist on topics that matter most to those embracing a life with cerebral palsy.
