Disabled kids get gift of education

A pioneering rehabilitation model in northern China is breaking the cycle of poverty and disability, successfully transitioning over 100 children with cerebral palsy into the education system through a unique "zero-cost" therapy and schooling program.

The Tianjin Jinnan Boneng Rehabilitation Medical Center recently marked its ninth anniversary, celebrating a milestone of providing 390,000 free therapy sessions to 394 children. Of those, 112 children — nearly a third of the center's children — have successfully enrolled in mainstream or special education schools, a feat once considered impossible for many of their families.
