"St. Raphael" is a day care center for children and adults with developmental
or multiple disabilities from moderate and severe to profound degree.
It was founded on 23 December, 1974, and has been legally registered with the City Government of Tainan as a social welfare organization since 1982.
At present almost 320 clients (children and adults with developmental delay or disabilities) use our regular services.
The Center has a staff of 120 educators, therapists, social workers, office workers and drivers.
People with disabilities deserve the same respectand have the samerights as those without. They are first of all PEOPLE, i.e. individuals with many (often hidden) abilities, and not merely “handicapped” individuals.
Through education, therapy and work training we help people with developmental and multiple disabilities to develop and unfold their potential, to become less dependent on others and to participate
as much as possible in the everyday life of the community.
