The Rabbit School
-
The Rabbit School was founded in 1997 as a response to a need to provide educational activities for children with intellectual disabilities. At that time there were no educational services at all for children with an intellectual disability. For this group of extremely disadvantaged children, the establishment of the Rabbit School marked the first crucial step in developing appropriate, formal educational programs for Cambodian children with intellectual disabilities.
Rabbit is to work towards the rehabilitation and full integration of children with intellectual disabilities into the Cambodian society. The Rabbit School provides a place where children with disabilities are treated with dignity and where they can learn and grow at their own pace.Currently, Rabbit School has three main programs: Rehabilitation and Medication of Children with Intellectual Disability, Inclusive and Integration of Children with Intellectual Disability into the public education, and Vocational Training and Job Placement for Youth with intellectual disability into the market place.
