The
St. Julie Programme, a non-profit organization run by the Sisters
of Notre Dame de Namur in collaboration with parents of special
needs children and the local community, seeks to improve the quality
of life for children who are physically and/or mentally disabled.
We provide opportunities for children to maintain their present
abilities and to advance toward their fullest potential as individuals
and as members of their families and communities.
We
serve children with many disabilities including club foot, cleft
palette, cerebral palsy, paralysis, hydrocephalus, spina bifida,
epilepsy, mental retardation, blindness, and hearing impairments.
The
main objective for the St. Julie Centre, which is part of the St.
Julie Programme, is to bring regular occupational therapy services
within reach of children in this rural area both with regard to
distance and cost. |
