Research is essential to find solutions to the daily challenges of people with cdg but as these don't come to us it is important to intervene therapeutically to achieve the best quality of life of the child and its family. The psychomotor Intervention is one of the alternatives.
The psychomotor intervention in CDG is much better to happen early, allowing to decrease the number of technicians in direct relation with the child and strengthen the family in its ability to find the most appropriate responses.
Looking at the child as a whole, allows benefits in the development and learning of children and consequently in its well-being and from its family.
