Equal Opportunity for Every Ability

James is a 6-year old boy from a remote part of the Philippines. At 4-years old, he was diagnosed with a seizure disorder that makes him very sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements in his proximity. His challenges made it difficult for James’ parents to integrate him into society through making friends, attending school, and other activities. James needed special intervention to have a chance at a normal life. We believe every child, regardless of physical or mental ability, deserves a chance to live to the fullest. This often requires medical intervention and family support to create an environment suitable to handle special needs. The Handclasp Program for children with disabilities supports children like James and their families.

James receives physical therapy to support his coordination and balance, medication assistance to control his seizures, early intervention classes to help develop his communication, and family support to help his parents understand his condition. With these supports, James is now able to go to school and integrate with other kids his age. Like so many kids like him, James just needed a little support to be able to thrive! We are blessed to provide programs and services that support kids like James.
