Art therapy at NPH Haiti Special Needs

Trained educators

All of our educators have received training from Irish, French and Haitian therapy volunteers. Our physical therapists all work with the children and young adults to develop their fine and gross motor skills ensuring that they become as independent as possible.

At present, at Kay Ste Germaine Special Needs School there are 93 students enrolled for the new academic year and there are 14 students and young adults at the L’Arche de Noe program for Kay Christine residents in Kenscoff.
