The Taguig City Disability Resource and Development Center in Barangay North Signal was launched on January 9, 2024, providing a space where PWDs can access free consultations, exchange information, and further empower themselves.
The center, spread across six floors, is equipped with complete facilities for those in need of free services such as therapy and consultation. These include free Speech Therapy, Adult and Pediatric Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, along with consultations from Rehabilitation Medicine doctors, Developmental Pediatricians, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech Therapists.
The center will also process applications and issue PWD IDs, as well as oversee livelihood and training programs.
Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano led the inauguration of the Taguig City Disability Resource and Development Center. She expressed her gratitude towards the servers from the Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) and Taguig Pateros District Hospital - Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Unit, who will cater to the needs of the PWDs visiting the center.
"In Taguig, we do more than just say we care for Persons with Disability. We take action and have tailored programs. I pray that this facility brings comfort and healing to those who will benefit from it. We dedicate this to a sector close to my heart and above all, for the greater glory of our Lord," Cayetano stated.
The building also houses an E-library where Taguigeños can conduct research and read.
