We offer integrated services that can improve patient autonomy and quality of life, such as occupational and physical therapy, prosthetics and orthotics, clubfoot treatment, assisted devices (wheelchairs, walkers), home visits, training for parents, advocacy in disability rights, as well as recreational activities,
