This community aims to connect up people (therapists, community workers, parents, doctors) who are working in communities in low-income settings with children with cerebral palsy. A major focus of the community is to share learning and experiences around use of the parent group programmes 'Ubuntu' (https://www.ubuntu-hub.org), formerly known as 'Getting to know cerebral palsy'. This community aims to help you learn more about working in the community with children with developmental disabilities, including cerebral palsy.

A major focus of the community is to share learning and experiences around use of the parent group programmes 'Ubuntu' (https://www.ubuntu-hub.org), formerly known as 'Getting to know cerebral palsy'. The parent group materials are free to download from https://www.ubuntu-hub.org/resources/. We want to use the community to share experiences about the material and how it is being rolled out and adapted in different countries and contexts. We also hope it will facilitate wider networking and the exchange of ideas and resources amongst those working in the community with children with developmental disabilities - with a focus on empowering parents and caregivers.
