NATIONAL SEMINAR ON EARLY INTERVENTION OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AT NIMH DURING 7-8TH MARCH 2013

Dear All

In continuation to the earlier postings made on the above cited subject, NIMH has organized two day National Seminar at Hyderabad during 7-8th March 2013.

I had presented the paper on "3As of Institutional Based Early Identification and Interventions - Opportunities with CBR".

The 3As which stands for Availability, Accessibility and Affordability of Information, Services, Supports and other needy play signification role in reaching the targeted groups with matching solutions. 

This model has given the scope to reach the larger group with need based, effective participation, sustainability, quality and cost effective solutions. The CBR Approach has been well appreciated and some have consulted to get this adopted at their respective location.

The combination of IBR (30%) and CBR (70%) with improved 3As helps to provide training & rehabilitation for mainstreaming, to prevent disabilities which leads for the Disability Free Community (DFC) and Barrier Free Environment (BFE).    

A Souvenir has been brought out with full papers representing all the categories of developmental disabilities.  

These two days has given the direction to move forward for Early Interventions to reach the larger group with better solutions. 

I will be posting more in this direction so that all can move forward for an effective early interventions of CWDDs..... 

Looking forward...

with thanks
