Laptop for Zach
Project Chairman Ron G. presents the laptop to Zach.
September 2006, Ravens Roost 55 donated a laptop computer to 8-year-old Zachary, a graduate of the Delrey School, providing a child with cerebral palsy and spastic quadriplegia with the tools to successfully mainstream into the public school system and thrive in a technology-driven society.
“Zachary is a very smart boy, and this laptop that he will use at his new school will provide a foundation for his transition to less structured school environment,” said Mimi Wang, principal of Delrey School.
Zachary attended the Delrey School for nearly five years and will transfer later this year to Landsdowne Elementary School. He lives with his mother in Landsdowne, Md.
For more than 35 years, UCP's Delrey School has provided educational and therapeutic programs for children with cerebral palsy and other disorders. The school provides intense physical, occupational and speech therapies; early intervention; developmental services; and a day care program for siblings of Delrey students and children of UCP staff members.
