People with disabilities can feel isolated and misunderstood, no matter where they live. But in developing countries like the Dominican Republic, poverty multiplies the difficulty for families of special needs children. This often means that children with disabilities simply go without the basic therapies that could help them develop and thrive. Since 1993, INTERNATIONAL CHILD CARE (ICC) has been bringing new hope to families who live in urban slums and rural villages around Santiago, DR, through the Community Based Rehabilitation program. ICC trains local “rehab” workers to make home visits to children with disabilities. They assess the children’s needs, teach simple exercises to parents, family members and neighbors, perform weekly evaluations and report progress to the ICC program office. Those who need specialized care are referred to local hospitals and clinics. More than 400 children and their families benefit from these services each year.
