About Us

The ABLE program was developed as a project of Children In Families (CIF), a local Cambodian non-profit, non-governmental organization addressing the over-utilization of institutional care for children by supporting and advocating for family-based solutions including foster care and kinship care.

The ABLE program provides community based rehabilitation services to the children within CIF's foster care and kinship care programs who have been identified as having a disability and/or special health concern, and the families caring for them. Among the children we serve include children with cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, blindness, ASD, speech delays, learning disabilities, genetic disorders/syndromes, cystic fibrosis, and AIDS.

The community based rehabilitation services we provide include home-based direct therapeutic intervention, case management, nutritional support, assistance with referral and access to other services including medical services, equipment providers, and special education services. We endeavor to ensure families caring for children with special needs have the support and resources they need to thrive. With this in mind, we have plans to develop a respite day center as well
