Md. Nayeem (Asst. Program Coordinator) has reminded the parents about physiotherapy, ADL, functional reading-writing, mobility, Braille practice and vocational training for their wards. He said that deafblind children need all these activities regularly and their parents are supposed to ensure such schedule. This works and resulted as livelihood linkage for 7 young children suffering from deafblindness and multi-sensory impairments, he informed. Mr. Parasnath Mahto (Special Teacher) has motivated the children and parents towards vocational training, school enrollment, socialization and important life skills for adolescents. The services being availed by such children are their rights and these can be game changer for them with support of family and society.
