Our daily mission
Together, we help our young patients develop the skills necessary for daily living, such as dressing, eating, writing and playing, as well as the ability to eat, drink, swallow and communicate. We provide emotional and psychological support for the child and his family. We help cope with the stress and challenges of MPD.
This is how we work

The Paley European Institute Neurocenter team is focused on long-term support and collaboration with families. It provides ongoing care coordination and regular follow-up visits to monitor the child's progress and adjust the treatment plan to meet changing needs.
We also provide support in integrating the child into the school and social environment. Parents, in turn, can always count on us for access to information on available treatments and their rights.
Medical and surgical interventions
Working with a team of surgeons, we provide support to patients whose treatment plan requires surgical procedures to correct bone and joint deformities and improve motor function.
We also provide pharmacotherapy and other medical procedures (for example, botulinum toxin injections - Botox) to help control symptoms such as muscle spasticity.
