Counselling Camps held in eight districts in Uttarakhand
April 1, 2021
As part of Raphael’s collaboration with “Uttarakhand Sabhi Ke Liye Shiksha Parishad”, counselling camps were conducted for families of children with special needs in sixty blocks of Uttarkashi, Tehri Garhwal, Udham Singh Nagar, Nainital, Rudraprayag, Haridwar, Pauri Garhwal, and Dehradun. The program took place from February 15 to March 31.
The Block Resource Coordinator coordinated the camps. Raphael’s team of special educators initially met the parents as a group and then conducted individual sessions with the parents and child. A brief assessment was done of the child’s needs. The parents were then given suggestions of activities to do with their children at home. Their expectations were realistically directed, and further referrals were made, as required.
The Raphael team also shared information about the Unique Disability Identity Card (UDID) and facilities provided by the government for persons with disabilities. Through these counselling sessions, a total of 788 children were identified; moreover, 1230 teachers/Anganwadi workers attended the programs.
