How We Strengthen Special Education in Siem Reap

Students move between classrooms, dormitories, and activity spaces using white canes and other assistive devices, guided by trained teachers and staff.
This special education support in Siem Reap ensures that students can practice mobility, social skills, and academic skills in the same environment where they live and study.
Accessible classrooms and residential spaces on campus
Learning, music, and life-skills sessions integrated into school timetables
Time for recreation, rest, and friendships under trees and in open courtyards

How the partnership works
