The project originated from the occasion of the Lawrence S. Ting Foundation donating a computer room to School for children with disabilities in Soc Trang Province. Through observations, the Fund found that the school still lacks equipment for teaching and learning; students with disabilities need more learning materials and intellectual development toys; digital educational materials, teaching methods that have a positive impact on children; most teachers have not been professionally trained in special education; parents do not fully understand the type of disability their children have and have not fully cooperated with the school in educating and caring for them. This situation is also recorded in some schools for children with disabilities in the provinces of Can Tho, An Giang, Ben Tre, and Dong Thap. Since then, the Lawrence S. Ting Foundation decided to build and develop a project called \u201cSupporting schools for children with disabilities in Mekong Delta\u201d with the desire to contribute to improving the quality of education for children with disabilities and help them to integrate into the community. With support from local authorities, this project will be implemented in 5 schools for children with disabilities in 5 provinces of Can Tho, An Giang, and Ben Tre, DongThap, SocTrang.The project is expected to be implemented for 3 consecutive years in order to create educational links between schools – students – parents; at the same time, orient towards the long-term goal of the special education program for children with disabilities, helping them be more confident in life and reducing the burden on their families. \nThe project will follow a 3-year process with 3 main goals:<\/p>\n\n
