Vocational & Skills Training

As part of the integration, Our team extends the services by working closely with regular schools in the community to ensure children with disabilities are given the opportunity to develop their skills and talents through creating an inclusive learning environment.

This program is designed for children and youth with disabilities and those who come from a marginalized environment. It teaches individuals different vocational and life skills. The caregiver and the child work with our team to set joint goals and works towards reaching these goals in periods of three months, involving the caregiver during the first and last week.
