Prof. David is among the Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World

TOYP Awards, Quebec, Canada, November 4, 2016. For his excellence and voluntary leadership in uplifting humanity
through a more inclusive society, our very own executive director and founder Prof. Abelardo Apollo I. David, Jr. was
awarded as among the JCI Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World! For this remarkable achievement, Philippine
President Rodrigo Duterte congratulated Prof. David at the Malacañang Palace. A testimonial dinner was likewise hosted
for him and for the 2016 The Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) of the Philippines awardees, on December 12, 2016 where
Mr. Fernando Zobel de Ayala was among the guests of honor to congratulate Prof. David and the TOYM honorees.
Perhaps what is most admirable about Prof. David is how despite the numerous local and international awards he has
received, he has remained humble and quiet, unwavering in getting his hands and feet directly immersed in our school’s
affairs as he steers us towards the realization of our vision and mission.

Speak Easy

The ILLC is privileged to be the partner of JCI-Manila in
launching yet another innovative program for the benefit
of speech and communication-impaired individuals. The
first of its kind, the Speak Easy Program was formally
offered in November 2016 and aims to offer appropriate
Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) systems to youth with speech limitations
using low, light and high technology pieces of device and apps contributed by JCI. The ILLC is
pleased to announce that Speak Easy will be offered as among the summer programs this April
2017. Through this AAC program, students who have difficulty expressing verbally, may be given
a chance to communicate their wants, needs, thoughts, feelings, inquiries and frustrations more
effectively thus potentially enhancing theirs and their family’s quality of life.

Our ILLC Exprerience By: Mrs. Rebecca Bona

We learned about ILLC through our very supportive developmental pediatrician, Dr. Jack Herrin. At first, we were disappointed as we were ideally looking to enroll Enzo in another school closer to our home and also hoped for the good doctor to approve for Enzo to attend traditional schooling. I remember it was already May when we inquired and luckily we were still able to get that last slot. The staff and most especially the teachers are very accommodating. To our surprise, Enzo was able to adjust in as little as two weeks. An ordeal which we thought could take him a month long or even longer. But with the patience, love and understanding of the teachers and interns, he is now able to enjoy going to school. We are especially thrilled that "life skills" are incorporated into their lessons. It is because of this that we, as parents, know we made the right choice. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to T. Fresca, T. Karen, Kuya Rey and the interns for their unwavering patience, support and love to Enzo. We look forward to the next school year and many more years with ILLC.

Our ILLC Journey By: Mr. Grant Javier

To give your child the best education is to prepare him for life and that is the best gift I believe I could ever give my son Pablo. As Pablo’s needs were growing and changing, I sought a new school where his needs would be addressed and met. Transferring to ILLC is truly a good decision as I have seen my son adapt to a new environment and respond to the new challenges that he faced in his new school. Being around a group of kids that are like him has truly been good for him as he has learned how to be more sociable and act appropriately in a group setting. I am grateful for all the teachers and administration has done for my son and I can say that we truly feel at home here in ILLC. There is a great sense of community, which can really be felt especially during school events and activities. I look forward to the coming months and years where Pablo would develop and gain more independence and move closer to having an even better quality of life. Cheers to ILLC!

Our ILLC Journey By: Harold and Thess Mino

Apart from home, school is the next single most important place in our son’s life. Being diagnosed with ADHD when he was four years old, for us parents, it was difficult to understand and accept but we believe that God has a purpose as He entrusted Hadrick to our care. Attending a regular/traditional school and having OT sessions were challenging for him. The thought that he might lose interest in learning alarmed us. We learned about ILLC through paper advertisement posted outside our gate and without any hesitation, we set an appointment with Mr. David and gladly, we were convinced about what ILLC can offer to Hadrick. Hadrick’s first days in school was filled with enthusiasm and was pretty remarkable. He said he liked his classmates as well as his teachers. He shows eagerness in learning and is attentive and participative during class, most especially during their Pre-Vocational classes. I also observed that Hadrick is beginning to be more knowledgeable in fol lowing written instructions. We are grateful for the unwavering support, dedication and patience of all the wonderful people behind ILLC. Thumbs up to everyone!
