OCTOBER

On a request by a group of doctors who were undertaking a healthcare programme at the Prithipura Child Development Centre in memory of a friend, we offered a screening programme to identify speech, language and communication difficulties among the residents of the centre. A small group of year 3 and year 4 students conducted this programme under the supervision of a member of staff. Ms. Lakshika Udugama offered a talk on speech, language, communication and ways to improve the skills within the centre to the members of staff to help raise awareness of communication difficulties.
