(KPLC) - For the second year, a local non-profit has been designed to support and help find resources for those with special needs. Multiple Louisiana physical therapists will have the opportunity to learn and get certified in spinal stimulation therapy - all thanks to the ‘Families for Inclusion’ B&amp;G Hope grant. “Excited to have that opportunity and really expand the healthcare and the specialized healthcare at that for the families in the area based on the hurdles, the families in the area are facing right,” said Families for Inclusion Vice President Wes Coleman. “We try to stay involved in the community and hear from the community what what’s needed here. What can we do better to make things more inclusive.” This year’s focus is on this nationally recognized non-invasive spinal electrical stimulation. Physical therapist and founder of Spinal Stimulation therapy Gerti Motavalli will be in Southwest Louisiana in September to teach this method. “Putting electrodes directly over the spinal cord and whatever muscles you need to activate it is really different from typical electrical stimulation, because when you place electrodes on the spine, you get like for one, you get better motor activation,” said Motavalli.This therapy is designed to help kids with Spina Bifida, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy and other neuromotor conditions. “I think the part that is very special about it, too, is that the parents learn how to do this at home. So, you have a therapist, learn how to be the therapist. So, the therapy and that therapist will then teach the parents what to do. But really, the parents are doing it daily at home,” said Motavalli Applications are open for physical therapists, occupational therapists and physical therapist assistants. There are still some spots left in the training, and the application closes on Sunday, Aug. 31. </div></body>
