Oliver Siddle's USA Therapy Fund Raising Appeal
Oliver (son of principal vet Mount Dandenong Practice Moss) has an unknown diagnosis but has atypical cerebral palsy symptoms meaning he isn't able to walk independently or talk. In December 2008 he will be flying over to Florida in the USA to have 3 weeks of intensive physio, speech & occupational therapy + hydrotherapy. The therapy is unique & not available in Australia. It involves Oliver wearing a suit made from bungy type material that was similarly worn by Russian astronauts. It is hoped that the therasuit therapy will help him with his spacial awareness & ability to walk before he heads off to school next year
