There are many types of hand or arm deficiency, the anomaly is so varied that obtaining support can be difficult. Many professionals involved in health care do not see enough cases to build up expertise. Reach hopes that by pooling the knowledge of its membership it can offer a level of support to all. Some children in Reach are missing all or part of an arm, others have partial hands or possible malformed or missing fingers or thumb. Some may also have arm and leg deficiencies
Our membership includes families with children of all ages and adults who themselves have an upper limb deficiency and belong to Reach willing and able to offer the benefit of their life experiences. Reach provides the means by which parents and professionals can bring together experiences, information, support and guidance. |
