Kwame Sakyi, assistant professor at Oakland University and director of Center for Learning and Childhood Development Ghana provided our program today. The children of Ghana whom are effected by developmental disabilities such as cerebral palsy, autism, and vision impairment struggle not only with the disability itself, but with the stigma from their community.  The Center for Learning and Childhood Development in Ghana focuses on why this is happening and how they can help. The children and their families are facing discrimination, social isolation and broken relationships. One mother described how no one would buy from her shop anymore out of fear that her son's disability was contagious. These challenges can cause high levels of divorce, disengagement from health care and education. The Center works to provide community driven intervention through a coaching system helping to support these families.
