Therapy Centre
Our therapy centre provides education and therapy for children with disabilities and learning difficulties. Our team of qualified physiotherapists, teachers and trained assistants work together to treat and educate the children. The main aim of the centre is to gain the highest level of physical independence for the child, whilst treating them as an individual.
We monitor the children's health and well-being and can provide support and counseling for the children's families. We are also able to provide wheel chairs, orthotic devices and other aids, as well as home-visits, when required.
Why is it important?
Most of our children have chronic neurological conditions that can involve a significant amount of both physical and cognitive disorders. In Nepal, many women are unable to access medical check-ups during their pregnancy and various complications may arise. This results in an increasing number of children who are either born with a disability or develop one shortly after birth.
It is also important to consider those in poverty, who are unable to care and provide for children with disabilities, particularly in the absence of an effective healthcare system in Nepal. Without centres like ours many children with disabilities would not receive any medical or therapeutic interventions and their disabilities would likely deteriorate.
The Government of Nepal does not set special provisions or considerations for those with disabilities meaning there are no laws or safeguards regarding their rights. Disabled children often face social prejudice and discrimination due to traditional believes and superstitions. This can be hugely detrimental to the child's mental, physical and psychological development and can mean that they find themselves completely excluded from society.
Our services 
Education - We have two classes in our therapy centre that provide a warm and loving learning environment for children with disabilities and learning difficulties. We focus on vocational training and activities of daily living, where appropriate, in order to maximise independence for the children. If children meet certain progress goals, we introduce them into our mainstream education.
Physiotherapy - Each child that requires physiotherapy will receive at least 45 minutes of each day. An individual treatment plan is designed for each child, which is implemented by our team of physiotherapists and assistants. We have a well-equipped treatment room, with resources which make our therapy patient centred and fun. We ensure we involve education and training for our children’s families.
Counselling - We provide a counseling service for children and their families. This is important in some cases for psychological well-being and often helps to ensure families are both realistic and motivated in helping their child manage their disability.
Home visits - We provide home visits for children who are unable to access our centre, which may be due to severe disability or transportation issues. Where possible we offer them the same medical and therapeutic services that we provide at our centre. Home-visits are also occasionally important for the children that attend our centre in order to gain a greater understanding of their background and home life ensuring that we offer a more holistic approach to treatment.
Our opening hours are 9.30- 17.00 on Sunday to Thursday and 9:30-14:00 on Friday
