Something New

The ABLE program now has it's own blog. If you missed our last newsletter, here are a couple of highlights:


MS, one of the children with visual impairment, had been very apprehensive about learning to walk for a long time but she is now willing to explore the area around her home guided by ABLE's physiotherapist, Srey Ny. MS is cared for by a loving foster mom who participates in activities to help her learn life skills. The ABLE program has arranged for her to receive special assistance at school and she is starting to be introduced to Braille. ABLE purchased Braille writing tablets so our Community Rehabilitation Team staff member, Savorn, can help her practice at home.



R is an adorable little boy with cerebral palsy who is in the Kinship Care program (Kinnect). He is cared for by his grandmother and his aunt. R is so excited about moving now that he realizes how much he is capable of doing! He works so hard and with such enthusiasm that he is making gradual progress day by day. His attitude is so inspiring!
