Its four function rooms are fully equipped and lively decorated to create interest for children. There are also blankets in the rooms for kids to use during the breaks.

Representatives of OHH - a volunteer organization working in the field of health and education in Vietnam - visit the treatment area.

Patients coming here are children from 0 to 15 years old who are experiencing psychological problems such as: autism and developmental disorders in children; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; psychological disorders and psychology-related diseases; pediatric rehabilitation; inpatient treatment and psychological counseling. On average, each month, 25-30 children come to the area for treatment and record positive results. About 400 children have been treated here so far.

Children coming here first get a general examination by doctors to diagnose their problems. The doctors then reply questions raised by parents or order some necessary tests for children - including psychological tests to evaluate skills. After that, the children and their relatives will be given consultancy on intervention plans.

If a child has a serious psychological disorder or needs pediatric rehabilitation, the doctors will recommend a procedure and set a schedule for him/her. The doctors and nurses will meet to discuss individual interventions. Depending on the status and characteristics of each child, they will develop a short-term or long-term individual programme.

The course of treatment takes place here continuously for 3 weeks. After that, the child will have a week off at home so that the parents can practice with her/him and then continue a new round of treatment. All treatment costs for children with autism and developmental delays at the hospital are fully covered by insurance.
