like all other children!

"To hear your son say a few words, to watch him play with a little friend, to realise that he learned a new game, these are joys that are common to all mothers. When your son is five years old, that he is barely starting to do these things and you wondered if he ever would, your joy is immense. My son Henri-Louis has a global developmental disorder. To be able to socialise with others and to learn to say a few words, he needed a lot of stimulation and attention. Thanks to the Society, Henri-Louis managed to develop his full potential."
Vânia Aguiar
Mother of Henri-Louis

| The Papillon services enable children with disabilities to develop their potential like all other children. Each year, 2,000 children and their parents appeal to the Quebec Society for Disabled Children. Via its respite program, reference and information service, residences, vacation camp, transportation service and early childhood stimulation centre, the Society strives by all possible means to respond to the most pressing needs of the children and their family. |

|
The sums collected enable the Society to fund:
|
- A respite program by operating two residences (Residence and Auberge Papillon) where each year more than 1,300 children and adolescents reside for a total of 700 night-stays;
- One of the leading specialised camps for children with disabilities in North-America (Camp Papillon) which hosts every year 2,000 disabled campers;
- An information and reference service (Carrefour Papillon) whose documentation centre contains more than 1,000 specialised resources to help the parents from all corners of Quebec to find the specific answers to their needs and those of their child;
- an early childhood stimulation centre (Jardin des Papillons) which offers essential tools to favour their development and integration in neighbourhood daycares and pre-schools.

Every year, the Society offers direct support to 3,125 families

The Society is working on many other projects that aim to broaden its field of activities.
