Introduction

Training and educational Center is where they help get back, keep, or improve abilities facility that needed for
their daily life. These abilities may be physical, mental, or cognitive (thinking and learning). Rehabilitation is the
process of helping individual to achieve the highest level of function, independence, and quality of life possible.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) the disabilities and rehabilitation unit support member state
in improving rehabilitation within their contexts and in enabling all people with disability to achieve better
health. Children and adults with disabilities are highly diverse group with wide-ranging life experiences. In view
of the current and growing demand for quality rehabilitation services in the region, it emphasizes the need to
build a strong foundation for rehabilitation that is person-centered focusing on people’s day to day functioning
rather than the disease.

Determine the study by validating on how important to have a training and educational Center when it comes to
Children with special needs and Physically Challenged of individuals, surveying through face to face and also
collecting data by analyzing journals, articles and books.

Facilities or rehabilitation center helps people with disabilities and children with special needs gain independence
through treatment and therapy. There are people who specialized treatment for different kinds of needed therapy
like physical therapist they treat people to increase strength and mobility, it is also for occupational therapy to
improve everyday skills and speech therapy for language and communication therapy.

These statistics illustrate two possible outcome which is firstly, the awareness of people among Children with
special needs and Physically Challenged of individuals has continuously increase every year in the region that
need a training and educational process and volunteer to registered or secondly, increase the number of
respondence annually.

A range of barriers limits their ability for daily life and access services like education and health care. Some
people with physical disability experience discrimination and this leads to fear to socialized especially fear to go
to a school and because of these they don’t get proper training and education for their needs. Children with
learning disabilities are often neglected and looked down upon the society.

1.1 Background of the Study

The World Health Organization (WHO) state that over 1 billion people- about 15% of the global population –
currently experience disability. People with disabilities often have less access to health care services. People with
disability experience poorer health outcomes, have less access to education and work opportunities, and are more
likely to live in poverty than those without a disability. (https://www.who.int/health-topics/disability)

Education of learners with special needs has come an extensive and lengthy way; it can be in a method from
special education (SPED) to integrated education and it as process from integrated education to inclusive
education. Despite the prop-up by a number of guidelines, policies and programs from time to time to speed up
the bound of all the efforts made in this direction the regular schools with inclusive orientation face many
barriers, roadblocks, impediments and challenges.
Sarason (2015) indicated that one of the main purposes of the educational process is to “produce responsible,
self-sufficient citizens who possess the self-esteem, initiative, skills and wisdom to continue individual growth
and pursue knowledge.” Such an idea of education brings to light initiatives to promote the self-determination of
students with disabilities. Enhancing students with disabilities’ self-determined behavior characteristics has been
a considerable element of policy, research, and curriculum standards and teaching practices to help students to
have a smooth and successful transition to postsecondary settings (Cho et al., 2013). (Southeast Asia Early
Childhood Journal, Vol. 10 (1), 2021 (37-49))

In the Philippines, the results of the 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH, 2010) show that of the
household population of 92.1 million, 1.443 million Filipinos or 1.57%, have a disability. Region IV-A, with 193
thousand PWDs, was recorded to have the highest number of PWD among the 17 regions, while the Cordillera
Administrative Region (CAR) had the lowest number with 26 thousand PWDs. There were more males, who
accounted for 50.9% of the total PWD in 2010, compared to females, with 49.1% with disability. For every five (5)
PWD, one (18.9%) was aged 0 to 14 years, three (59.0%) were in the working age group (15-64 years old), and one
(22.1%) was aged 65 years and above (NSO, 2013). The mandate of the DOH to come up with a national health
program for PWD was based on Republic Act No. 7277, “An Act Providing for the Rehabilitation and Self-
Reliance of Disabled Persons and Their Integration into the Mainstream of Society and for Other Purposes” or
otherwise known as “The Magna Carta for Disabled Persons” and the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR)
of RA 7277. This document stipulated that the DOH is required to: (1) institute a national health program for
PWDs, (2) establish medical rehabilitation centers in provincial hospitals, and (3) adopt an integrated and
comprehensive program to the Health Development of PWD, which shall make essential health services available
to them at affordable cost. In response to this, the DOH issued Administrative Order No. 2006-0003, which
specifically provides the strategic framework and operational guidelines for the implementation of Health
Programs for PWDs. (HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAM FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES-doh.gov.ph-
background)

And according to The Special Education Division is tasked primarily to formulate policies, plans and programs for
the preparation of instructional materials, and the evaluation of programs in special education; conduct
researches and develop standards of programs and services for special learners; plan prototype in-service
education programs to upgrade the competencies of all support staff directly or indirectly involved with the
implementation of the programs; and establish linkages with agencies concerned with the education and welfare
of children with special needs.

However, due to the country’s economic situation - among others, such programs and services are still limited
and are not readily available to children with special needs. Children with disabilities are one major group for
whom the right to education, equal opportunities and right to participate in society has yet to be won in the
Philippines.

Based on the latest Department of Education 2000 report, out of 80 million Filipinos, 50% are children and
youth (0-24 yrs.) The SPED Division of the Department of Education estimates that 12% of the children
population in the country have special needs; 2% are gifted while 10% are those with disabilities. On the projected
population of 43,303,145 children and youth (0-24 years old) for the year 2000, there were 5,196,377 children
with special needs.

However, of the 5,196,377 CSNs only 2.6% or 136,523 were provided with appropriate educational service while
97.4% or 5,059,854 did not receive appropriate educational services for school year 2002-2003. Furthermore, of
the 136,523 children with special needs enrolled in schools: 69,888 (51.19%) were mentally gifted/ fast learners
and 66,635 (48.81%) had disabilities. (Note: National statistical data on SY; 2003-2004 has yet to be
consolidated.)

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Access to quality education is the basic right of every individual, but not everyone can access it especially for
those physically challenged individuals.

General problem: Partially enough facilities or centers for training and educational center for children with
special needs and physically challenged individual here in City of Ilagan.

Sub-problem:

 The efficiency of training and educational center to have a awareness and learning process of children
with special needs and physically challenged individual
 Proper way on how to deal with children with special needs and physically challenged individual.
 The treatment costing for children with special needs and physically challenged individual differ from
others.

1.3 Objective of the Study

There are several possible reasons to identify the importance of having a training and educational center
facility within the city and on how to catch sight of the result and its impact to the society. These reasons
span three broad classes:

I. To determine the importance of training and educational center for children with special needs and
physically challenged individuals in City of Ilagan

II. To know the benefits of special education for persons with disabilities and for children with special
needs and to learn

III. To know the rights of everyone for education and services specially for children with special needs
and physically challenge individuals.

1.4 Significance of the Study

The importance of a training and educational center for children with special needs and physically
challenged individuals is really a big deal for them. By having a training and educational center for persons
with disabilities, it helps them to access opportunity for education and learning with different skills for their
needs and also benefits them by gaining their independency because they will learn more and know how to
participate or join to the community and be part of it and this will break the barrier and discrimination for
them. The process where they can be more open and at the same time visible in environment is to learn their
trouble and aware on how to deal with them by learning and considering all the circumstances. However,
when it comes on consulting to a private facility the cost more concern to them rather than their difficulty in
other words financial problems, to save from worrying the facility must be under government

“objects” of charity, medical treatment and social protection towards viewing persons with disabilities as
“subjects” with rights, who are capable of claiming those rights and making decisions for their lives based on
their free and informed consent as well as being active members of society.

is not taking action to make facilities, programs, and services for persons with disabilities. Evidence gathered
during his research that disabled people are less likely to complete basic primary education because
education and training centers or services are inadequate and insufficient.

(HEIs). It can help macro-level implementers to identify micro-level issues, especially in HEIs, in order to
assess the strengths and weaknesses of the policies that have been enacted and will be put into practice

RRL1: Understanding the Disability individual concept

World Health Organization (WHO) in Africa, generally Person with Disabilities defines as problem in body
functions that caused for impairments, actively limitation, and facing crisis in health or in poverty. They
define impairments a problem of a body that has difficulties in functioning, while actively limitation is lack of
individual executing of task or actions. Which understanding that disabilities precipitate based on the
culture, health and poverty.

Meanwhile, The permeable on UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

(UNCRPD) in 2006 that clearly expressed and acknowledge the disability as an “evolving concept and that
disability results from the interaction between persons with impairments and attitudinal and environmental
barriers that hinders their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others” (pg.1)
Addition on understanding about disability concept “Persons with disabilities include those who have long-
term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may
hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.,” (pg.4).

As defined in journal of Christopher B. Labrague (Catbalogan City, Philippines). The Children with special
needs have speech hearing Impairment, Down syndrome, Autism, learning disabilities and ADHD, it is
written also that intellectual disability, cerebral palsy and visual impairment are included that will under into
Person with disabilities.

RRL2: Importance of training and Education for Children with special needs and Physically
challenges Individuals

Special Education Programs are designed for those students who are mentally, physically, socially and/or
emotionally delayed (teach.com).
The Education for all Handicapped children Act (EHA) also known as Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA) goal was to ensure children with special needs have access to appropriate public education. The
law supports and provide children and youth with disabilities access to a higher education- related services
for their needs.
Special education teacher works and teaches different range of students ages, grade levels and abilities. They
give the specific needs of development and knowledge of every individual student with special needs to reach
their full potential.
The Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) main purpose is to set learnings for students and to give the
services, needs and appropriate education of every student or children in this school program. IDEA ensures
that all individuals with disabilities are provided with a fair and necessary services for them to reach or
succeed the educational system. (teach.com)
“Every child has a right to education - to ensure their growth and development, to fulfill their individual
potential” declared by the United Nation on Human rights. Number of studies stated that disabled persons
are less likely to complete education. In South Africa and Lesotho, the primary education is inadequate and
insufficient to accommodate and to help disabled persons to access learning and training to enhance their
skills and independent living (Mr A R Gwitimah, 2008).

As for Article of Jimmylen Zuniga-Tonio (Catanduanes, Philippines) the record shows that there more
student with specials needs and disabilities enrolled with higher educations in the Philippines. It also written
that “Despite the fact that there is considerable legislative backing, it is clear that PWDs research is still
lacking in Philippine higher education. Under CHED Memorandum No. 09, s. 2013, also known as the
Enhanced Policies and Guidelines on Student Affairs and Services, Higher education institutions (HEIs) are
required to give PWDs, indigenous peoples, single parents, and other groups with equal access to programs

and activities.” (I. introduction, P.16)

RRL3: Training and Educational Center with Children with Special needs and Physically
Challenged Individual

In South Africa Education and training facilities are easily accessed by rich families and for poor family
education services is still hard to access because they are required to pay tuition for their training and
education. Many parents of disabled children in both Africa and Lesotho felt that the Government is not
doing anything or taking action to enable children or persons with disability go to school and access right
education.

In South Africa and Lesotho, a lot of work are still needed to be done to make training and education
accessible to children, young and adult disabled. In conclusion disabled people, parents of disabled children
and those people who work with disabled persons are not aware of the programs and appropriate services for
them like The Convention on the rights of the Child and the world Declaration on Education for All. Once
they are aware of these programs and services it is possible to have easy access for persons with disabilities
and for the government to take action to promote these programs and support them. Families with disabled
member have a right to know or have information about programs and appropriate services for their family
member who have disability. This will become possible if there will be promotions and program activities for
this kind of training and education services for children with special needs and person with disabilities (Mr A
R Gwitimah, 2008).

Under UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

(UNCRPD) in 2006 Person with disabilities has Universal Design that includes products, environments
products, programmes, and services that usable by all people.
Also, undertaken for “Promote research and development of universally designed goods, services, equipment
and facilities, as defined in article 2 of the present Convention, which should require the minimum possible
adaptation and the least cost to meet the specific needs of a person with disabilities, to promote their
availability and use, and to promote universal design in the development of standards and guidelines;” (P.6)

for them.
3. I also recommend that medical or therapy and learning center should be placed in a place where
everyone can access easily and to avoid struggle in their travel.
4. There should be more public medical and training center so that every one in needs can access and will
encourage them to go to a center to conduct therapy and learning because it’s free and there is a high
chance that going to a medical or treatment center can help persons with disabilities improve their skills
and abilities. Most of the respondents prefer to have treatment in the center because there are
professional teachers and doctors there to help does in needs.
5. Spread information and knowledge about the importance of training and educational center for children
