Better training for disability workers across the Pacific is soon to become a reality with the Fiji School of Medicine to offer new educational options. The School of Medicine is teaming with Fiji's CAL Program, which runs an early intervention training program for teachers, caregivers and families of children with disabilities in the country. CAL helps children with disabilities, especially those in rural areas, gain access to appropriate community based services.
