Taguig City has taken a significant step towards inclusivity and accessibility with the opening of the Yakap Center, a dedicated facility that provides essential medical, therapeutic, and educational services for children with disabilities.
The Yakap Center is designed to be a safe and nurturing environment where children can receive specialized care tailored to their individual needs.
The center offers vital therapy services, including pediatric physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, ensuring that children receive the support necessary for their development and well-being.
To further enhance the quality of care, the center has on-site rehabilitation doctors and developmental pediatricians who provide expert consultations, offering guidance to families and caregivers on how to best support their children.
Education is also a core focus of the Yakap Center, with various programs catering to different age groups and needs. These include:
- Early Intervention Program – Designed for children as young as three to build foundational skills.
- Transition Program – Helps older children prepare for further education or training.
- Deaf/Hard of Hearing Program – Supports children with hearing impairments in their communication and learning.
- Braille Literacy Program – Provides instruction for visually impaired children.
- Pre-Vocational Program – Equips older children with skills for work and independent living.
The facility is fully equipped with specialized rooms designed to enhance learning, creativity, and therapy. These include an E-Library and Multimedia Room for accessible education, an Arts & Crafts Room, a Music Room, and a Dance Studio for creative expression.
Additionally, the center features Early Intervention and Transition Rooms, Hydrotherapy and Sensory Rooms for rehabilitation, and dedicated therapy rooms for physical, occupational, and speech therapy. To ensure accessibility, Braille signage is installed at room entrances.
The opening of the Yakap Center underscores Taguig City’s commitment to providing inclusive services that empower children with disabilities, giving them opportunities to thrive in a supportive environment. This initiative reflects the city’s dedication to fostering a more inclusive and compassionate community.
