CHIA’s Disability Support Program
Disability services in Vietnam are extremely limited, leaving most families incapable on of seeking assistance for their child. Many obstacles arise on a daily basis when having a child with a disability, which can ultimately lead to family hardships and mental health issues. Once medical, physical therapy or daycare is arranged; a finical burden closes in on the family leading to even greater issues.
