Quality Early Intervention to Pre-Vocational Programs

Discovering Strengths, Building Confidence, Transitioning to a Full & Productive Life

An interdisciplinary team of pediatric therapy specialists and special educators collaborate authentically with parents, teachers, medical and allied health professionals, and community workers to optimize the potentials of children with special educational needs and those at-risk of developmental delay. ALRES is a strategic partner of schools, government and non-government organizations, and the private sector in creating an inclusive society by facilitating access to comprehensive therapy intervention and developmentally-appropriate education.

Missions & Scholarships

Having a HEART OF SERVICE is one of ALRES' Core Values. Considering less than 5% of children with disabilities in the Philippines have access to special education and therapy services, ALRES provides free assessments, home programs and caregiver trainings in collaboration with local governments, the Department of Social Welfare & Development (DSWD), public schools, parish-based organizations, and the private sector. It also offers scholarship grants to children twice marginalized by poverty & disability.
