OSDM supports families who may be socially and financially incapable of providing for their children.

OSDM provides all of the support for free.

We sustain this project through sponsorship, partnerships and donations.

The presence of the kids’ family is very important for their rehabilitation process.
OSDM also provides the parents education, orientation and psychological therapy.

That way they can help the kids to improve and achieve better results.

We also are responsible for 2 shelters:

They are assigned in formal therapies based upon their needs such as speech, occupational, physiotherapy, psychomotor, respiratory and psychological.
