About Whoopsadaisy
The charity Whoopsadaisy was founded by Nina Holland who has a son, Christopher, with cerebral palsy. Christopher has benefitted greatly from a method of teaching called Conductive Education and it's techniques.
Message From Founder - Nina Holland
My Son Christopher was diagnosed with Cerebal Palsy when he was 18 months. At the time I was living in France. In some ways I felt relieved by the diagnosis, as I felt something was wrong and now I could do something to help him. I read some books on Cerebal Palsy and that's how I found out about Conductive Education and how the child can really benefit at a very young age. I decided to take Christopher to the Peto Institute in Hungary.
After just two weeks working everyday with Christopher, I noticed a dramatic improvement. I went back again for two months, but found it very difficult being away from home. So over the next few years I had conductors (teachers of Conductive Education) working with Christopher in the holidays.
But this is was very expensive, and a lot of families were unable to afford it.
I set up Whoopsadaisy to help other children and their families, as I feel Conductive Education has enabled Christopher to lead a more independent life.
The service that we provide will help other children reach their maximum independence and confidence.
