ASSOCIATION WITH MEPMA (IKP URBAN), GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH.

Dear All

In continuation to the earlier schedule,district level workshops for the Parents and OBs of their Association was successfully completed covering the districts of: Anaatapur, Chittoor, Kadapa, Kurnool, Mahaboobnagar, Ranga Reddy, Medak, Nalgonda, Warangal, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Adilabad and Hyderabad during May and June 2011.

Though the present aim was to federate them into the PARIVAAR, National Federation of the Parents Associations' working for Mental Retardation, Autism, Cerebral palsy and Multiple Disabilities, the scope was broadened to their general challenges, existing acts, schemes, benefits and other related issues tuning to convergence. The guidelines and consequences of UNCRPD were also part of these events.

The unanswered question of every parents that "what will happen to the child after us" has been discussed and explained the salient features of the ASMITA of National Trust, New Delhi. This has given significant relief and most of them were motivated to enroll into the scheme. This change in their attitude is significant and motivates others to move forward for better living with right based empowerment.

Feed back cum suggestions were submitted to the concerned and its further continuation will certainly help the parents to work with right based strategies and interventions for the better living of their children with disabilities with real inclusion.

I will be posting more on this needy topic and expect support from you all......

All the best
