Phrapradang Vocational Rehabilitation Center for the Disabled is a division belonging to the Department of Social Development and Welfare. It was established to assist in the rehabilitation of disabled people by reviving their physical abilities. The Department recognizes that although disabled people have lost the use of some part of their body, they can work to support themselves. They do not have to be abandoned by their families or society but they are able to contribute to the economic development of the country. The center was founded in 1968 and by that time it was supported by the United Nation that provided experts to advice about the rehabilitation of people with disabilities. The project was a part of the Third Nation Economic plan 1968-1971. The center is currently located at Tham bon Songkanong Phrapradang district in Samutprakan province.
