The social volunteer service group of the church in Fufeng County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, visited teachers and disabled children in Xinyue Handicapped Children’s Center on November 10.
This center, established in Jiangzhang Town in September 2005, is a non-governmental non-profit service organization. It mainly accommodates children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 who have autism, Downs syndrome, cerebral palsy, language impairment, hyperactivity disorders, learning disabilities, and mild or moderate intellectual disabilities. It aims to help them integrate into mainstream society as soon as possible. This center offers courses such as one-on-one training(not sure), rhythmic dance, music, language, precision teaching(not sure), practical language and arithmetic, sensory integration training, physical training, painting, self-care, and vocational skills training.
Elder Fan Kexiao and his group of five visited places where the children study and have their activities. The visitors remained there to have meals with them and learn about the inner world of these autistic, deaf-mute children. They did interactive activities with the children for more than an hour, coming into close contact with them, talking with each other, and playing games together. They also had a discussion with teachers and some students in the conference room. One teacher introduced the operation and current situation of the welfare home since its establishment.
Xinyue Handicapped Children’s Center now has 15 faculty members. In the fifteen years since its establishment, with the support of people from all walks of life, there are now 28 students (more than 40 at the most), but only had six children when it first began. The students mainly come from Shaanxi, but some from Xinjiang, Hebei, Gansu, Shanxi, and other provinces.
The teacher said it was not easy to teach them something. Teachers need to spend several months or even years to help the children complete an ordinary and simple task. For example, it took more than two years to teach an autistic child to button their shirt.
After more than two hours of discussion, the staff and co-workers of the church delivered food and supplies to the center.

2020年11月10日，陕西宝鸡市扶风县基督教会的社会义工服务爱心团队，对一福利院的老师和残疾孩子进行爱心送温暖慰问活动。
扶风县心悦启智福利院，成立于2005年9月，是一所在陕西农村率先设立的民间非营利性慈善机构。该福利院开展的主要服务内容，是收住患有自闭症、唐氏综合症、脑瘫、语言障碍、多动症、学习障碍及不同原因的中轻度智力障碍的3至18岁的儿童和少年，帮助他们能早日融入主流社会。福利院开有个训、律动、音乐、语言、精细、实用性语文及算术、感统训练、体能训练、画画、生活自理及职业技能训练等课程。
范长老他们一行五人参观了孩子们学习、活动、住宿、就餐等场所，零距离了解看望这些自闭症、聋哑孩子的内心世界和孩子们的起居、饮食、学习等情况；二是和孩子们开展了长达一个多小时的互动活动，主要是和孩子们亲密接触，相互交谈，一块儿玩游戏；三是在会议室与老师和部分学生进行了座谈，主要是由一位老师介绍了福利院自成立以来运作及现状。
心悦启智福利院，现有教职员工15人。自成立十五年来，在社会各界爱心人士的支持下，由当初的6名学生发展至今现有28名学生（最多时达到过40多名）。学生主要来自陕西境内，也有个别来自新疆、河北、甘肃、山西等其它省份。
老师介绍说，在我们大家看来很是平常的一个简单动作，但要让这些孩子们很完整的做完，却需要老师花上几个月甚至几年时间的功夫才能帮助孩子学会。比如给自闭症儿童教会扣纽扣这一个动作，就要花费两年多的时间。
整个看望慰问活动历经了两个多小时，随后扶风县基督教会为福利院送上了食品和物资。
