CiCi's Food Paradise Media Sponsors Special Care for Special Needs Campaign, Launched by Russian American Dental Association
Almost every fifth child in the U.S. suffers from some form of disability, according to “Disability and American Families”, US Census Bureau Report. There are hundreds of organizations designed to provide help to those who need it most, however there is no real and working system of referrals between the organizations, thus patients always get only fragmented information about help that is available.
New York, NY, November 26, 2014 --(PR.com)-- “At RADA, Russian American Dental Association, we place an emphasis on a concept of sharing. There are hundreds of organizations designed to provide help to those who need it most, however there is no real and working system of referrals among the organizations, thus patients always get only fragmented information about help that is available. We’re trying to foster closer relationship between the organizations, not only nationwide, abroad as well; share experiences, try to implement in the U.S. what has proved to be success in Eastern Europe or Middle East,” says Doctor Rada Sumareva.
One example of how little we know about programs designed to help: Over half a million New Yorkers pass by Coalition of the Concerned Medical Professionals building in Brooklyn every week and most of us probably don’t know that the organization advocates for uninsured population in need of medical care, without ever asking about immigration status of the patient. “We do all it takes, to the extent of delivering fresh fruits and vegetables, because if we want to address diabetes in Brooklyn and Queens, that’s what it takes,” says Elizabeth Stevens, President of the Coalition of the Concerned Medical Professionals.
RADA is focusing on abilities rather than disabilities. It sounds like such a human thing to do, yet somehow we get so absorbed by dealing with “disabilities” that forget about people behind the word. Award-winning jazz pianist, Justin Kauflin, whom you might know from documentary, "Keep On Keepin' On," was genuinely touched, touched to tears when he first heard from Doctor Sumareva that RADA’s focus is on abilities. Justin began his musical journey at age 4 and by age of 6, was performing in concerts, nursing homes and weddings, eventually becoming concertmaster for several orchestras. Sadly, it was during this time he also lost vision due to a rare eye disease. The total blindness however didn’t stop the 11 years old boy from exploring the world of music further and building up his carrier. My guess, a good number of jazz lovers really grateful for his courage.
The third concept RADA has been successfully implementing is encouraging students to get involved in charity work. Doctor Sumareva says, “It’s pretty straight forward really, if youth don’t get involved today who we would count on to continue our work in the future?”
Even though thousands of initiatives exist, public awareness of life and needs of people with limited abilities is still largely lacking. This is to say if you know anyone who is in need of special care or their relatives and friends are in search of advice and direction, please be sure to refer them to Russian American Dental Association for help.
