Childhood stroke and help

Anyone know if there is an after stroke care group I can approach for my son?

He had a stroke when he was 2. Seems like there are very few cases of strokes in children.

Specifically looking for help/guidance in the best way to proceed with my sons physical effects. We already have Physio and Occupational therapy but I feel like specialists maybe better equipped.

Thank you :)

Hi

I trust you son is better. Now look again within Enableme they will help you, perhaps resources or community, but yes ask, and ask again, somebody will help you.

 

Hi Lynne,

 

Where are you located? I can look into local stroke support groups for you. 

 

This is one that I already know of: http://www.strokidz.com/  you may also like to join the CHASA community. They are based in the USA - they have an online forum 

 

There are also a number of parents in out Facebook community that you can reach out to. 

 

You can email me on enableme@strokefoundation.com.au for other contacts.

 

Hope this helps.

I hope you find some helpful connections, in just over six months since I put my first post on Enableme I have been so fortunate to have come across a lot of supportive people and been able to share my own story so others may benefit.

Best wishes
