Originally founded by two parents
who discovered the scarcity
of support for children with
Down’s syndrome in Shanghai
after the birth of their first
child, LIH Olivia’s Place provide
world-class, multidisciplinary
paediatric therapy services to
children of all abilities, ages
birth to 18 years of age.
The organisation
has three major service areas:
paediatric therapy consulting
services including occupational,
physical, and speech therapies,
psychology services, ABA, and
learning support in English,
Chinese and several other
languages; educational outreach
with multilingual clinical
staff providing classes to the
community, teachers, schools,
hospitals, clinics, orphanages,
universities, and local therapists;
and foundation initiatives to cover
the cost of care for families that
cannot otherwise afford services.
The foundation also works
to further the organisation’s
vision of universally available
paediatric therapy in China.
While Olivia’s Place is not a
school, its Shanghai location
does offer an early intervention
academic programme.
