CP (cerebral palsy) project

- for you´re kids comfort and joy -

 

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders that affect a person’s ability to move and maintain balance and posture. CP is caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain that affects a person’s ability to control his or her muscles. All people with CP have problems with movement and posture.

​

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in childhood, and children with CP and their families need support.

​

Meeting a mother who´s daughter has Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy level 5 (meaning the worse level) made me want to help these kids and their family, in the way that I can: designing and producing a line of special functional clothes that could make their everyday life a little bit easier.

​

I am in the research phase now and I need help from parents with CP kids to gather the necessary information about their everyday struggle when it comes to clothing. That´s why I want to invite them to my studio for a chat.

​

Dear parents, I know how hectic your days are, but if any of you get a free hour one day, just contact me by phone or e-mail or just drop by my studio.

​

My research (our talk) will not just help you, but also many others in your same situation. And as a gift for your help, I will make a piece of garment for free for your CP kid (can be pants, sweater etc).

​

In time, based on the data I gathered I will start to produce some basic functional clothes, that will be available to be purchase here, on my website or in special stores (like health clothing store – “helseklær butikk”)

​

I already made a pair of pants, just for trying for that girl who is tall and extremely thin. They are made in french terry cotton fabric, which has a little stretch for more comfort. To be even more easier to put on, I inserted zippers down the leg. The zippers have been lined with a soft cotton fabric, to create a smooth feeling against the skin. They can also have big zipper pullers, for easier grasp.

​

Feel free to contact me if you want to hear more about this project. I am here and very happy to help you and your dear child.
