Following the death of David Cameron's son Ivan, the needs of people with cerebral palsy have received unprecedented media coverage.
One Glasgow-based charity hopes the increased public awareness will lead to generous donations to their fundraising appeal.
Bobath is looking for a new home to treat Scottish youngsters living with this condition.
Four-year-old Lewis Currie is set to undergo a six-week course at the Bobath Centre in Glasgow's Drumchapel. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 18 months, it is hoped his therapy at the centre will compliment his NHS treatment and help correct his posture.
Catharina van der Welt, Speech and Language Therapist, explained: "He has a really curved back and he actually has back ache and for a young child that's quite serious. It's all about alignment and to allow all of the muscles of the body to be activated."
Lewis's six-week session will cost around £5,000. The centre, which is mostly dependent on public donations, has running costs of around £800,000 every year.
Now they have launched an appeal to raise £2million for a permanent facility sited within easy reach of their patients, who come from all over the country.
Mary Baillie from Bobath Scotland said: "A lot of people do not know about cerebral palsy and they don't know about Bobath Scotland. So we need people to help fundraise so that we can continue to provide this vital therapy."
The centre is the only place in Scotland using the approach developed by a German couple in the 1940s who sought to bring a greater variety of movement to children with cerebral palsy.
Mum Lyndsey Currie said: "Lewis's legs used to go in at the knees and now all of a sudden his knees are starting to part. He's starting to walk normally."
Every six hours a child is born who will be diagnosed with cerebral palsy. If they are to receive the kind of treatment on offer at Bobath, public generosity is essential.
