Nagaland assessment camp for special kids

Dimapur: Nagaland govt organised a mega identification and assessment camp for children with special needs (CwSN) to mark the 5th anniversary of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The Nagaland Education Mission Society, Samagra Shiksha, organised the camp in collaboration with Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) under the National Health Mission, Nagaland health and family welfare department, in Kohima. This marked a significant step in promoting inclusive education and ensuring that no child is left behind. The camp was organised at Naga Hospital Authority Kohima, where a team comprising 11 doctors and nine members of RBSK, under the health and family welfare department, carried out the medical assessments. The children were screened for various disabilities, including visual impairment, locomotor disabilities, hearing impairment, dental and ENT issues, and intellectual and developmental disabilities. As part of the services provided at the camp, on-the-spot fitting of hearing aids was conducted for children with identified hearing loss. Additionally, disability certificates were issued by the medical board to eligible children, enabling them to access various govt schemes, aids, and educational support. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your donations can help this little boy see again clearly Donate For Health Donate Now Undo The programme witnessed the participation of 82 children with special needs from the five Educational Block Research Centre blocks under Kohima district.
