The Quezon City Government, through the QC Center for Children with Disabilities (Kabahagi), offers free healthcare, empowerment, and livelihood services for children with disabilities and their families, including rehabilitation assessment, parent training with hands-on therapy, community engagement activities, advocacy and community-building, information services, and livelihood and skills training.
The program primarily aims to recognize and provide equal rights and social opportunities for CWDs. QC Kabahagi is a development initiative where stakeholders for children with disabilities acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes that facilitate their empowerment and self-reliance at the child, family, and community level.
As of April 2025, QC Kabahagi had already conducted 16,138 sessions and was recognized as the first and only center run by the local government to have been officially accredited by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as a training facility for Physical Therapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) students.
This initiative is the city’s commitment to building an inclusive, sustainable, and empowering quality community, where PWDs have equal access to opportunities, rights, and privileges. The program is also based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Children and several other local mandates for Children with Disabilities (CWD).
