Hopefully some of the parents can give you some ideas as well.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Hi Aussie
my name is Karen Hillyer and I am closely involved with the Erb's palsy group here in the Uk.
Just recently I had the opportunity to meet with a wonderful physiotherapist from Australia who was visiting the Uk on an exchange visit.
She left me with some pamphlets which are produced by her department at The department of Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Plastic surgery at the Rpyal Childrens Hospital Melbourne.
This booklet ( it's fantastic!) contains a series of exercises specifically for children with this injury - i am sure that if you e mailed them they wuld be willing to send you a copy.
their e mail address is; plastic.surgery@rch.org.au
or their phone number is; (03) 9345 6636 OR
(03) 9345 5347
I am sure they will be helpful
Kind wishes
Karen
