Workshop on Inclusive Education for Bal Vatika Care Givers
NIPUN organized an insightful and interactive sensitization session on Disability Inclusion, Early Identification, and Supportive Care Practices for the Day Care Workers cm Care Givers of the Bal Vatika Project. The session was conducted by Dr. Sangeeta Kardam, expert in Disability and Occupational Therapy.
The session began with a brief introduction by the Secretary of NIPUN, highlighting the organization’s commitment towards creating safe, inclusive, and nurturing spaces for every child, especially children belonging to vulnerable communities.
During the session, participants were sensitized on identifying early signs and symptoms of developmental and learning disabilities such as Learning Disability, Intellectual Disability, Hyperactivity, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Dysgraphia, Bleeding Disorders, and other developmental concerns. Dr. Kardam emphasized the importance of inclusive caregiving, empathy, early intervention, and equal opportunities for every child.
The session also covered important information related to the RPWD Act, 2016 and the significance of the Unique Disability ID Card (UDID) in accessing government support and welfare services for children with disabilities.
To make the training more practical and engaging, group discussions, presentations, and experience-sharing activities were conducted where participants shared real-life observations and challenges faced at the Bal Vatika centers. The interactive discussions helped strengthen the understanding and confidence of care givers in supporting children with special needs in a more inclusive and compassionate manner.
At NIPUN, we believe that every child deserves dignity, care, acceptance, and equal opportunities to grow and thrive.
