Psychological Assessment

An individual who suffer from more than one type of disability come under multiple disability. For example, a child with cerebral palsy would probably have in addition to the delayed milestones and motor problems damage of the part of the brain responsible for sight and hearing, addition it may have mental sub normality.
When children present with multiple problems it becomes challenging because there is need for a team to attend to each distinct problem. For families and professionals involved in the care of these children our ultimate goal is to maximise functioning while minimizing any disability related disadvantages. This is accomplished by recognizing the specific abilities and needs of the individual child. A child with multiple disability it is not possible for a single person to guide the whole course of rehabilitation. Optimum results can only be obtained when a group of qualified professionals work together.
As a child with multiple disabilities comes to our institute, we do the assessment of the child in different faculties of the centre. If the child's age is within 0-3 then our main focus for the child is on early intervention therapies. This includes: developmental therapy, visual stimulation, auditory stimulation, sensory integration, developmental training, besides this, the therapist instructs the mother or the care taker on handling techniques of the child.
If a child is above three, and school going then our team plan programme accordingly if your child's multiple disability condition is with intellectual impairment or hearing impairment, then we provide special educational services. According to the severity of the condition parents are guided for the child's best possible way of rehabilitation by the faculty of the centre.

Through the means of special education children are taught self-help skills, gross and fine motor skills, functional reading and writing skills, time, money and related cognitive skills which are essential for their daily living. It also builds self-confidence and social skills in them. Computer assisted training modules are also used to speed up efficiency of the special education services
