Stimulation Therapy for 250 People w/ID in Chile

At this stage we still have not received your donations however, Global Giving is telling us that it will arrive within the next week.

We have been fiercely motivated and have made big steps forward for example,  have had many meetings with institutions throughout Chile that work to improve learning for people with intellectual and physical disabilities, one of them is Tobii Dynavox.  Tobii Dynavox provides communication apps, speech generation devices, eye trackers and eye-gaze enabled devices for individuals with disabilities and special needs who require AAC which we will be implementing into our educational program next month for 10 people with autism, down syndrome and cerebral palsy that need this instrument to communicate. 

We have attended a few Brain Gym seminars by Carol Ann Erickson in Hospital Clinico in Santiago that focused on Bloomberg Rhythmic Movements, a neuro-developmental kinesiology program matures the brain and integrates primitive reflees using specific innate movement patterns and gentle isometric integration techniques. This training gives us guidance for our methodology during the intervention processes to people with intellectual and physical disabilities for our stimulation therapy center.

We have attended an early stimulation training program for people with down syndrome with the Foundation Down Up which explains how to stimulate play and cognition in babies.  

We are registering the first 25 people that will benefit from these projects. 

We are in the process of creating new ideas and fundraising with our volunteers to help raise funds and reach the goal of 50,000 USD.

Thanks to everyone for your support.

We look forward to sharing more of our progress every month.

Best of life
