pubmed:otherAbstract |
PIP: Villagers have operated a primary health care program in western Mexico called Project Piaxtla for almost 30 years. The project often selects disabled persons to be village health workers, sine they are not in involved in hard physical farm work and thus are most available. They have excelled as village health workers and eventually started the Programme of Rehabilitation Organized by Disabled Youth of Western Mexico (PROJIMO) to address the needs of disabled children. The disables workers are more sensitive to the needs of disabled children than others are. They involve the children in meeting their own needs. The disabled adult leaders and artisans in a community program provide role models for the disabled children and their families. In fact, the program lets parents see that they do not need to overprotect their disables children or to do everything for them. PROJIMO has built a rehabilitation playground where disabled and nondisabled youth play together. All the equipment is made from local materials. Disabled and nondisabled children make toys and sometimes rehabilitation aids (e.g., a walker) in a small workshop. PROJIMO uses various child-to-child activities to promote understanding between disabled and nondisabled children. For example, the fastest runner in the class ties a pole around his/her leg. All the children run the race or play a tag. Later, all the children talk to the pseudo-disabled child to learn what she/he experienced. Disabled technicians at PROJIMO fabricate modem resin-and-fiberglass prosthetics for amputees. They also make orthopedic braces (modem thermoplastics). PROJIMO works not just with children with congenital disabilities but also those who suffer from accident- and violence-related disabilities.
