Abstract

M’Lop Tapang is a registered non-governmental organisation working in South West Cambodia and providing services to 5000 vulnerable children and 2500 families.
This evaluation was commissioned to review M’Lop Tapang’s special needs programme.
Interviews were conducted with 35 parents / carers of children who receive services from M’Lop Tapang’s special needs programme . Nearly all of these parents / carers reported that they had noticed improvements in their children’s behaviour or functional ability since attending the programme. Significantly, almost all also reported a dramatic reduction in stress as a result of their child attending the programmes.
While the study revealed many positive aspects of M'Lop Tapang’s special needs programme it also highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in areas of parental learning and education.
