"COMMUNICATION +" PROJECT 2015

MARCH

Starting in February and throughout the months of March and April, we supported the free 'Special Wheelchair Donation Camps for Children with Cerebral Palsy' organized by Cerebral Palsy Lanka Foundation as part of their 'Thousand wheelchairs donation campaign'. Members of our staff, Extended Faculty and colleagues assisted the speech and language therapists of the Dream Centre to offer simple, concise workshops on supporting safe feeding of children with cerebral palsy and demonstrated alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) methods to encourage communication at mealtimes and during the day.

We were able to support the following camps:

  1. Anuradhapura - 22nd February 2015
  2. Moneragala - 01st March 2015
  3. Jaffna - 08th March 2015
  4. Kandy - 15th March 2015
  5. Ratnapura - 22nd March 2015
  6. Kurunegala - 29th March 2015
  7. Batticaloa - 12th April 2015
