First Phase Of the Project
FIRST PHASE OF THE PROJECT
The first child was admitted in June 2012 and at present, we have Ten children under our care – Mental Retardation and Cerebral Palsy, and one child has Down’s Syndrome.
Appropriate medical tests & screening is done by Specialist Doctors immediately after their admission into our children’s home and we strictly follow the advice of doctors.
We are careful in giving the children a balanced diet, based on the advice given by the Dieticians of the hospitals, and we have been seeing good progress in the growth of the children within a short time of their admission.
We produce organically grown vegetables in our Garden.
PHYSIOTHERAPY
We have purchased all basic physiotherapy equipments and set up a full physiotherapy unit appropriate for our children. The children are responding well to Physiotherapy given every afternoon by our well-experienced physiotherapist.
SPECIAL SCHOOL
We have set up a small classroom for our special needs children and a Special Educator has been employed for this purpose. We are in the process of registering the special school with the Department of ‘District Differently Abled Welfare office’ Government of Tamilnadu.
We have named our special school as ‘Shivalaya Special School’.
As the number of children increase, we will have a separate building/annex for the school.
