Yap FM - In the Federated States of Micronesia, UNICEF is working closely with national and state-level education and health teams to ensure children have access to essential vision, hearing, and mobility care.

To date, more than 250 teachers and 51 healthcare workers across all four states have received training to identify early signs of sensory difficulties and conduct basic screenings.

With support from the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and ATscale, the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology, UNICEF is partnering with the Government of FSM to strengthen assistive technology services and improve access to essential support for children.

Together, we are working towards a more inclusive future where every child can see, hear, move, learn, and reach their full potential.
