Publication of the handbook of associations in Lebanon, working with groups of parents with a common experience, working with the core group of parents to defend the cause of any child with a disability before society and state authorities and working with the siblings group of children to help them overcome difficulties with their brother or sister in a situation of disability and defend their cause in society.

SESOBEL is an active member of a lobbying group with the various ministries to ensure the needs of associations working with people with disabilities.

The centres of help through work or work of young people with disabilities and the mothers of the children.

To provide children with disabilities with quality education of the highest standards through adapted pedagogical approaches.

Organize cultural and recreational outings for children with disabilities, in order to give them access to different places and activities.

Health and Nutrition

  • Direct intervention
  • Prevention
  • Nutrition
  • Special Needs

SESOBEL has quality medical facilities and highly qualified staff at its centre to provide the children with the regular care they need.

SESOBEL prevents disability-related nutritional disorders ranging from severe undernutrition to morbid obesity. Children or adults with physical disabilities, multiple disabilities or progressive illnesses are at high risk of developing swallowing disorders that lead to undernutrition. A multidisciplinary team made up of doctors, speech therapists and dieticians is required to diagnose eating disorders as well as the management, which is important to avoid complications such as enteral feeding. Similarly, obesity among young people with disabilities, such as those with Down’s syndrome, puts them at risk of developing medical problems. Prevention of these problems is important through a healthy, varied and diversified diet.

SESOBEL provides parents with information on healthy eating through parental guidance and training.

SESOBEL welcomes different types of disabilities: motor, intellectual (including Down’s syndrome), multiple disabilities and autism. SESOBEL offers care adapted to the needs of these children and young people. Their nutrition is under the supervision of a dietician who makes sure that each child receives an adequate diet (ground food, diet for diabetes, obesity…).

Project

Development of educational programmes

Project objective

Ensure the development of children with disabilities in all aspects of their lives and promote their social integration.

Emblematic activity presentation

“Inclusion of children with disabilities in public schools, a pilot and pioneering project in Lebanon. This project was born to meet the needs of children with slight disorders or difficulties in learning and requiring early education. However, these children with intellectual, sensory or motor disabilities, chronic illnesses, mild or moderate cerebral palsy, or with learning disorders or difficulties at school have higher learning abilities than children integrated in special education centres.

Moreover, the country’s school system was not adapted to the needs of these children: class size, traditional teaching method, overcrowded curriculum, lack of para-medical staff. SESOBEL, took the lead and started in October 2006 the School Inclusion of Children with Special Needs in collaboration with the public primary school in Jezzine in South Lebanon. The overall goal of inclusion is to ensure the good development of the child in an inclusive context by working with families, schools and the environment. It has two systems of inclusion:

1- Total Inclusion with learners with disorders or difficulties in a regular class: the student spends all his time in school, except for possible therapeutic supports that could take place in school or outside.

2- Partial Inclusion with learners with an intellectual or motor disability in a specialized class within the school: the student spends only part of the normal school time. At the other time, he follows other activities with appropriate re-education.

Presentation of an emblematic activity

In order to provide access to schooling for the most disadvantaged but also to involve the community in the management of the school, MAEECHA supports parents and school councils to subscribe to the educational policy carried by the Ministry of National Education, aiming at structuring public pre-elementary education with the involvement of the community and communes.

This support contributes to the achievement of goal 4 of sustainable development: “Ensure equal access to quality education for all and promote opportunities for lifelong learning”, in particular target 4.2: “By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development and care services and to pre-school education that prepares them for primary education”.

Therefore, MAEECHA has set up a range of actions to achieve this objective

  • Regular sensitization of the community on the need to enrol children from the age of 4 years in nursery classes in order to promote access to education for all;
  • Encouragement of parents and school principals to enrol children before the start of the school year, while respecting the ratio defined by the education authorities;
  • Stimulation of parents to take the initiative in supporting nursery school teachers in the smooth running of classes.
  • Commitment by parents to closely monitor their children’s education and to develop a real partnership of proximity with teachers, principals and school councils.
  • Commitment by parents to pay regular contributions to enable the school to operate independently but also to pay the salaries of female teachers who are not integrated into the civil service.
  • Organisation by the pedagogical service of regular initial and continuing training of instructors on classroom practice,
  • Regular organization of close monitoring Thanks to these actions:
  • The number of kindergarten classes has increased from 18 in 2017 to 28 classes in 2020…
  • Kindergarten enrolments increased from 407 to 830 between 2014 and 2020.
  • Gender parity for girls and boys has been stabilized at equal parity since 2015.
  • Pupils move on to the first grade with significantly higher skills and achievements than other pupils who did not attend kindergarten.
  • Nyumakele instructors are models in the eyes of their counterparts on the island, and are called upon to accompany training courses in the regions.
  • Parents are more attentive, participate and get involved in the organisation of extra-curricular activities, especially school outings and end-of-year celebrations”.

Presentation of an emblematic activity

The Ibda’a Music Academy has grown exponentially over the last year, therefore Ibda’a has adapted our programming to accommodate increased interest. Research has found that learning music facilitates learning other subjects and enhances skills that children inevitably use in other areas including; language development, increased IQ and improvement in test scores, increased spatial-temporal skills, as well as increased use of the creative side of the brain. The music school will provide youth the opportunity to learn to play the violin, cello, or qanun. Our talented instructors are provided through our partnership with the Edward Said Conservatory for music.

Presentation of an emblematic activity

The most representative annual activity that has allowed us to corroborate and strengthen the socio-emotional and behavioural development of children and adolescents has been the camp project. It takes place at the end of the process, in June or July, and is usually an outing to another province of Ecuador, taking advantage of its beautiful and contrasting regions of the coast, mountains or east, for two or three days, without the parents. This activity has been the pretext for the families to put into play the support to their children from their role, starting from the personal to the economic, there have been common activities to obtain the necessary resources to achieve the exits, they have been supported by the professionals of the San Juan and of the other parents to have the confidence of releasing their children in an experience without their company. In the testimonies of those who have already gone through this experience, we can see the value they give to this project, which has allowed them to see the objectives of the activity crystallised in their children. The main objectives have been:

– To acquire autonomy, self-sufficiency and independence. Strength valid for life.

– To test their way of functioning in life in an environment different from the usual one.

– To promote the ability to adapt to new environments.

– To get to know each child or adolescent in depth in order to continue supporting the deficient areas and boosting individual and group potentialities.

– To continue the support to the socio-affective area in the need that each child or adolescent presents.
