Prana Satya Learning Center, Therapy for Children with Special Needs

Having a child with special needs has opened the way to help not only the child, but also other children. This is what happened to Tina Maladi, a yoga teacher, founder of Kids Yoga Jakarta and Prana Satya Learning Center (PSLC). As a learning center for children with special needs, PSLC offers PediaSuit therapy, a type of intervention program that uses suits assisted with bungee cords and The Universal Exercise Unit for children with developmental disorders, thus affecting motor movements and sensory system balance. "This condition is often found in children with Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Rhett's syndrome, and others," said the mother of 2 children.

In children with Cerebral Palsy, according to Tina, the PediaSuit method is very helpful, because it increases their mobility. Cerebral Palsy conditions are generally categorized as Diplegia, Hemiplegia or Quadriplegia, which greatly affect their ability to move. With Pediasuit, therapists at PSLC can provide interventions for the upper and lower body parts simultaneously.

"Meanwhile, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder need intensive programs and provide appropriate education for families, so they can have strategies and programs for their children," said Tina. By adhering to the principle of Neuroplasticity, he believes these children can be helped with programs that prioritize movement.

PediaSuit Therapy is an intensive program with 6 weeks of observation using multidisciplinary science, combined with other interventions such as Aquatherapy, Oral Motor Stimulation, Yoga for the Special Child. Of course, the program is designed with a focus on abilities and child development. In order not to be rigid, the program was delivered through the game.

"We prioritize playing in the PediaSuit program, because with games, children are able to improve their cognition and motor skills. In essence, we see what children can do, not from their inability. In our eyes, children with any condition are individuals who need positive relationships, play, and respect, "concluded Tina.

To support all therapy programs, PSLC is equipped with a heated swimming pool for aquatherapy, yoga studio, sensory integration room, to a kitchen for children to do cooking activities.
