At ECIL, our role is to pave the way for families with a special-need child, to enable them to take care of their children in the best possible way, for we are firm believers in the Imam Sadr teachings, especially when he speaks of Man: “Planning and organization is the pillar to any worldly success. God created the universe with such an attention to details that random acts cannot make the rule.” (Imam Sadr – 22 May 1969).

Building on this principle, ECIL strives to help special-need children and their parents by giving them access to a multi-disciplinary team of administrative staff and therapists, in an attempt to cover all the dimensions of every phase in the intervention process. Our ultimate aim is to enable the child to grow up into an independent adult, by giving him the opportunity to enroll in a school or a specialized institution.

The success and continuity of this kind of services surely depend on many factors including the work of the association, the mutual collaboration and coordination between the different governmental parties, non-governmental organizations (local or international) and the civil society, as well as on the awareness of parents in regards to their prime role in the intervention process.
