In the heart of Gansu Province, Zhao Yan has become a beacon of hope for families navigating the challenges of raising children with special needs. Motivated by her own experiences as the mother of an autistic son, Zhao took a bold step in 2015, investing all her personal savings to establish the Zhibo Special Education Training Center.

The center offers a range of programs tailored to each child's unique needs, fostering an environment where they can thrive both academically and socially.
Zhao's story is not just about overcoming personal hardships; it's about creating a sustainable path forward for children with disabilities and their families. Her initiative has not only filled a critical gap in special education but has also inspired others in the community to contribute and support inclusive education.
As the Zhibo Special Education Training Center continues to grow, Zhao Yan remains committed to expanding her reach, ensuring that every child in Gansu has access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
