Situation
We want to build the self confidence of children with upper limb differences, to realise their own abilities and take this belief into all areas of their life. We want to help parents/carers understand that their children can achieve things independently (and show them in a safe environment), we want to build the leadership skills of young adults with upper limb differences and enable them to understand how inspirational they can be as role models.
Solution
This week will take children out of their comfort zone both physically and mentally, but also support them in understanding that they can achieve anything they put their mind to. By enabling parents/carers to let children be independent of them for a week (but in a safe environment) allows them to appreciate their abilities and encourage them to let their children try new things independently when they return home. Young adults will have mentor training to help them with leadership skills.
