Government of the Republic of Moldova Approves Mobile Team Service to Benefit Individuals with Disabilities and their Families
(3BL Media / theCSRfeed) Chisinau, Moldova – October 5, 2011 – On Friday, September 30, the Regulations and Quality Standards of the Mobile Team Service entered into force. These Regulations and Quality Standards had been approved by the Government of the Republic of Moldova on September 22.
The Mobile Team Service serves as an alternative to other, more costly services, such as day or residential centers. The service includes several social service professionals who provide free assistance and psychological counseling, speech therapy, rehabilitation services, physical therapy, medical advice and other services at home to prevent children and young people from being institutionalized and to facilitate social inclusion of children with disabilities and their families. Services are provided based on the unique needs of the individual. Specialists from the Mobile Teams visit each family and evaluate the needs of the child or family member. Based on these identified needs, the specialists work together with local authority representatives and the person’s closest relatives to develop an individualized support plan.
KHS and its family of agencies are dedicated to creating an environment where all people, regardless of background and ‘ability,’ can grow, make choices, and be valued and contributing members of their community.
