Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Cerebral Palsy?
    Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological condition caused by damage to the developing brain, often before or shortly after birth, affecting movement, muscle tone, and posture. Symptoms can range from muscle stiffness or weakness to problems with balance, coordination, and speech. Although CP is not progressive, its effects can change over time. While there is no cure, therapies like physical therapy and Conductive Education can help improve independence and quality of life.
  • What is Conductive Education?
    Conductive Education (CE) is a holistic approach developed by Dr. András Pető in Hungary to help individuals with motor disorders such as cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s, or stroke. It combines physical, cognitive, and emotional learning in a structured, educational setting led by specially trained professionals called conductors. Rather than focusing on therapy, CE treats movement difficulties as learning challenges, using repetition, rhythm, and purposeful tasks to teach individuals how to gain independence in daily life. Guangxi Silver Lining introduced Conductive Education from Hong Kong, brought in by Dr. Clare Cheng (Dr. Zheng Yujun). It was introduced around 2011. Every year, it serves over 140 children with cerebral palsy and other disabilities, promoting the holistic development of the children’s physical abilities, intelligence, personality, and other aspects.
  • What is TEACCH?
    TEACCH stands for Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication-Handicapped Children. It is a structured teaching approach developed in the 1970s at the University of North Carolina to support individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). TEACCH is an educational program designed to help individuals with autism develop independence and life skills by using structured environments, visual supports, and clear routines. It focuses on adapting the environment to the person, rather than changing the person to fit the environment. TEACCH promotes learning through predictable schedules, visual cues, and individualized work systems, helping people with autism better understand and manage their world..
  • What is Family-based Setting for the orphans?
    A family-based setting provides orphans with a stable home life, where they are cared for by foster parents, extended family, or in small group homes that resemble a family. This approach focuses on building loving relationships, emotional security, and consistent support to help children grow and thrive. It is widely seen as a better alternative to institutional care because it promotes healthy development, a sense of belonging, and long-term well-being.
