World Physical Therapy Day
It is time to get up and be active (and think twice about that diet pill) for the eighth of September. September 8 is World Physical Therapy Day, as designated by the World Confederation for Physical Therapy. The theme for this year is Movement for Health.
The intention is that this day be used to recognise the work that physical therapists do for their patients and their community, and to support them in their efforts to promote the profession and to advance their clinical expertise.
This day marks the unity and solidarity of the physical therapy community from 101 countries around the world.
Celebration of the day is voluntary and activities & materials to celebrate the day are left to Member Organisations so that they can be developed to reflect key national priorities & messages.

You have just viewed the Alyana Trailer. It will be in VCD/ DVD format in the near future.
Made within a span of two-and-a-half years, the film traces the history of autism in the Philippines dating back to the 1970s when awareness about the disability was practically nil. It shows the plight and the struggle of persons with autism, their families, and those involved in their lives, especially focusing on the experiences of Mothers in handling and coping up with the situation of having an autistic child.
Oral history in treatment, the filmmaker Ms. Mirana Medina takes the audience along with her in a personal quest to find out what autism really is, starting with the case of her grand niece Alyana, the only member of their family with autism.
ASP continues to share hopes and dreams to families of children with autism. Interested parties may email us at admin@autismsocietyph.org or autismphil@pldtdsl.net or call 926-6941 or 929-8447 to request for the ALYANA Road Show in your area.
