Counseling services are provided to disabled persons, parents and their family
members. Additionally, school and college youths are included in the program.
Community Awareness Program
RTLA strongly believes that community plays a large role in integrating people
with mental disabilities into the main stream. RTLA emphasizes awareness
programs via public exhibitions, educational lectures, integrated camps with
young students and by providing opportunities for volunteers to participate
actively in our programs and activities. The association currently has three
major projects that serve the community.
Employment Program:
Sponsored by Vodafone Egypt Foundation, this program aims at training graduates
of other centers and schools for the disabled and helping them find employment
opportunities, be it at RTLA's sheltered Workshops or externally. So far, we
have been able to employ 40 graduates from other centers and are currently
training another group.
Upgrading Schools for the Intellectually Disabled:
Via this project, we provide consultancies to public schools for the
intellectually disabled (Tarbiyah Fekriya Schools), in order to improve
curricula, train teachers and introduce the latest ideas in the field of
special needs education. This project has been ongoing for the past 10 years.
Upgrading Governmental Associations for the Intellectually Disabled:
In 2009, RTLA signed an agreement with Ministry of Solidarity to fully upgrade
4 associations annually, by providing training to personnel in these
associations, setting up programs for the beneficiaries and following up
implementation in order to improve services provided to persons with special
needs.
