Background: The mission of Phuc Tue Center is to help disabled children become more independent in their everyday life by building their self-confidence. At the centre we aim to help educate and improve mental health, as well as provide development and vocational skills training to help integrate these individuals back into employment. This not only allows these individuals to feel independent in their everyday life but this will also lessen the potential burden on the family and society. Currently, the centre has 80 disabled children with ailments including Down’s syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, children who have been victims of Agent Orange, as well as other mental illnesses. The Centre has applied the specific education measures which are suited for each individual and has used psychotherapy methods in attempts to rehabilitate the mentally disabled. Some of the children are treated with medicine while others are not.
