Supporting Children and Young People with Disabilities
Building Skills to Empower, Support, and Nurture Growth
Supporting children and young people with disabilities requires more than care — it calls for understanding, empathy, and specialised skills. Each child deserves the opportunity to learn, play, and grow in an environment where their abilities are recognised and their voices are heard.
