This condition obstacle, and sometimes do not permit them to count on self-consciousness and self-esteem which are necessary in order to involve an active role in the society.
In addition, the shortage of medical-rehabilitative devices and supports keep more difficulties for the re-introduction in the society, amplifying the gap which separe them from a three-square and a respectable condition.

The association and onlus "Terre Solidali" (website) has launched in 2011 this project of Theatrical Physiotherapy (the project), mixing physical-rehabilitative aspects with contents of incentive to social and human opening in order to push these 100 children involved to continue believing in themselves to occupy a live and creative position in the society.


The project is started from "Naro Moru Disabled Children's Home", a structure that from 1982 offers services as orthopedic surgery and rehabilitative assistance to children from 0 to 14 years old: the home is equipped with clinical laboratories and rehabilitation rooms with medical devices and orthopedic equipment (image 1)
