Magic Camp Helps Treat Children with Hemiplegia
7News in Australia reports on young children with medical problems being helped through magic…
Hemiplegia is a form of paralysis on one side of the body..
The condition means a simple task like tying your shoelaces can be tricky for children.
But it no longer seems such an enormous challenge for Ella Korlaki, 8, now that she can magically repair a piece of rope after slicing it in half.
“It’s helpful, it’s educational and it’s fun,” Ella said.
Ella is taking part in the first magic camp run by the Arts Health Institute, an Australian charity using the performing arts to help those with health needs.
Some of Australia’s best magicians are working alongside occupational therapists, teaching close-up magic tricks to the young participants.
