Community Based Rehabilitation: Not all of our disabled children can come to our center, so we go to them. With this approach, we involve the family and community in our program. We let them see what we do, give information and tips on how to improve the quality of life of a disabled person. |
|
Day care Center: At our day care center we are able to focus more on physical therapy and education and our disabled children and adults can socialize. |

Some children are too less aware of the world around them or the world is too unpredictable and too chaotic to understand. They create their own, safe world within themselves. With our basic stimulation program we let these children experience impressions from the outside world an create an attractive environment in which they, in the end, may feel safe enough to start to interact with their surroundings. |

By playing with other children, having lots of experiences in the outside world, by trying, missing and trying again, a child normally develops the motorial, visual and auditory skills it needs when it goes to primary school. For some children however, this process does not go naturally. They develop slower, can not focus on certain tasks or are too busy to cope with the normal everyday life, that for some can be a chaotic and inconceivable place. In our skills kindergarten we create a safe environment that is adjusted to the individual needs of every single child so they can learn these different skills step by step, learn to focus and concentrate on tasks. |
|
In our skills primary school we teach our disabled children and adults, who can not attend school, what they need to integrate in their community. |

Special Needs & Physical Therapy: Trough physical therapy a disabled person will become more independent and their quality of life will improve. By using a number of different approaches and techniques, we help disables with neurological disorders/diseases, pediatric physical therapy and neurological rehabilitation. An exercise program can have multiple parts and the results are visible after longer term or can be very practical oriented and immediately applicable. |
|
Vocational Training: It is our intention that our disabled adults will become able, as much as possible, to look after themselves. None of them will ever become a pilot or professor, but that is not necessary. They just want to take their place within their community. |
