"HAPPY 8th Year ANNIVERSARY Project T.E.A.C.H.!"

Project Therapy, Education and Assimilation of Children with Handicap is a community-based program that directly benefits indigent youth with disabilities

Due to the high cost of medical, rehabilitation and educational services for youth with special needs, many families cannot afford to avail of quality intervention for them. Individuals with disabilities need these services to be more independent in self-care, school, play and work activities. Their enhanced capabilities largely contribute to a better quality of life for them and for their families. The shortage of competent professionals such as developmental paediatricians, special education teachers, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists, makes access to these services even more difficult. Moreover, local government units seldom offer and subsidize comprehensive and integrated services for youth with special needs.
