Zhang talked with children and seniors receiving rehabilitation services at the center and listened to their suggestions. She encouraged them to be confident and continue their rehabilitation activities.

Zhang required that disabled persons’ organizations at all levels should improve their rehabilitation service policies, speed up rehabilitation university construction, and cultivate more professionals for rehabilitation work. The China Rehabilitation Research Center should enhance its ability to provide professional services, and play its role as a national rehabilitation technology and resource center.
