ABOUT SESOBEL
Since 1976
SESOBEL has been supporting families with physical or mental disabilities such as autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, neurodegenerative diseases, and other conditions. SESOBEL is a day program. The children live at home to be part of their family’s life.
SESOBEL strives to create the best quality of life for the child while strengthening the family. SESOBEL uses a holistic, family focused approach to assess and customize each child’s needs and care. Early intervention provides for the best outcome for the child. Academic, diagnostic, rehabilitative, therapeutic, medical, social, and physiological services, and vocational training are all part of the program. Supportive counseling, education, transportation, sibling groups, adaptive devices and protected workshops provide resources to the children and their entire family. Many of SESOBEL’s children come from economically challenged families. Many of the parents have their own health issues. SESOBEL also provides services to children with special needs who do not attend their school, such as evaluations, referrals, and a school inclusion program.
SESOBEL’s staff utilize the latest available methods of treatment, which are supported by doctors and hospitals, and have connections with international researchers and organizations.
SESOBEL is a pioneer and leading institution for childhood disabilities throughout Lebanon and the Middle East. Before the current Lebanese crisis, SESOBEL, began a specialized center for autism to address the growing needs. SESOBEL has been recognized internationally on many occasions. In 2013 SESOBEL was honored with the prestigious Takreem Award for Philanthropy and Charitable Services.
It is not easy to find the right words to express our gratitude towards your concern, your generosity, your hard work and continuous support to the children and youth with disability at SESOBEL. Since 2006, You have given us so many reasons to continue to believe in our mission and go to the utmost no matter the circumstances we are facing in Lebanon. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you and may God bless you forever!
