Family-Centric Therapy
EmbraceAbility delivers tailored occupational and physiotherapy therapy to children with disabilities in their homes. Therapy might target the alleviation of discomfort, rehabilitation, and improving a child’s independence.
By working with families and carers directly, strategies can be formed to vastly improve their quality of life sustainably. With the promotion of a child’s independence and dignity at its core, the benefits of regular, family-centric occupational therapy are significant and far reaching.
We place qualified therapists and healthcare professionals into community settings on Koh Dach Island and into the homes of disabled children on a regular basis.
Over time, regular visits from our dedicated healthcare professionals dramatically improves the quality of life for those affected by issues of disability. Using their experience and expertise, our team can tailor therapy to fit a child’s specific needs and a family’s circumstances. EmbraceAbility understands that no two beneficiaries are the same, and we must work responsively and adaptably to give them their best possible outcome.
Samnang
“Samnang’s walking is much better. The play therapy has been made easier with the involvement of Samnang’s siblings. We are very happy with Samnang’s improvements! Thank you!”
- Yon Chantha, Samnang’s mother
Healthcare Assessments
EmbraceAbility provides basic ‘check-ups’ in the home assessing the overall health of children with disabilities. Too often small injuries or illnesses go undiagnosed and untreated, where they become exacerbated and can cause permanent impairment to an individual. This service seeks to identify any health concerns as quickly as possible so that it can be treated accordingly.
Service Referral
Having established ourselves as a competent service provider in the field of Occupational Therapy, we have established connections and relationships with other NGOs who specialise in other rehabilitation services. Our relationships with a diverse range of NGOs allows us to refer our beneficiaries so that they can receive the necessary services otherwise inaccessible to them.
Chantry
Chantry’s case is an excellent example of EmbraceAbility’s NGO referral network in Phnom Penh. A bi-lateral amputee, we identified Chantry’s need for referral to a prosthetic specialist organisation immediately. We reached out to Exceed Worldwide, who agreed to create and fit her prosthetic legs.
“Chantry is now able to walk comfortably and with confidence. She is increasingly independent, and I am able to spend less time helping her with basic activities.”
“I am more hopeful now that she has her prosthetics, and now that she has access to EmbraceAbility’s services.
- Choun Vanna, Chantry’s Mother
