Special Education and Rehabilitation Center:

There is a centre that provides education and rehabilitation services to children with various disabilities. The centre also offers different types of physical therapies to help children with their specific needs. A schedule is in place to ensure that each child spends quality time in the physical therapy room as frequently as possible. Since each child has unique requirements, some are learning to walk, while others need regular massage to maintain their physical health. The centre needs extra assistance from interns to enable more children to access the physical therapy room and receive regular treatment.

Disabled Care Centre:

In this amazing and loving home, there are about 80 adult people and only one physical therapist. Your help is needed and you will work alongside the physiotherapy/physical therapist, learning and helping at the same time.
