dcm school

Ones, one of my neighbour aunt give birth to boy child. Everyone was very happy. But after some years we come to know that, the boy is mentally retarded. He is slow Lerner or in normal term Abnormal. Then suddenly, the attitude of looking at that boy of his relatives changed. They started hating him and treat very badly. That aunty was also gets frustrated. Than that aunt took him in slow learner’s school and after that, boy become confident enough to survive with the help of his mother.
We saw many cases like this around us. Many people treat Mentally Retarded or slow learner children as ‘fools’. But it’s very cruel thing. They are also like normal people only. They just mentally grow slowly. In this case we should help them & shouldn’t tease. There is less awareness about these children and their problems. Many Institutes and organisations work for these children’s. One of them is (NEWLIGHTCHARITABLETRUST )DIVINE CROSS MISSION SPECIAL SCHOOL FOR MENTALLY RETARDED
NEWLIGHT Charitable Trust has been running Divine cross mission special school for mentally retarded Centre since 2000 for the mentally retarded children in NEYVELI. "There is no cure for mental retardation. But if neglected it creates a number of problems to the children and their families." NEWLIGHT Charitable Trust, keeping this in mind, started a centre where these children could be trained to make them self-sufficient. At present there are 45 children in the age group of 8-28 years. To train these children they have 2 SPECIAL EDUCATOR QUALIFIED teachers who are doing this noble job. . The trustees and the staff put in their best effort to bring all round development of the children so that they can join to the main stream of the society.
Besides teaching daily activities in life, the centre imparts special training in dance, music, drama, yoga and sport. These children have got many prizes in this also. The children are made self sufficient by teaching them the salable items like Greeting cards, Seasonal items like Rakhees, Envelope, Cotton flowers (Organdi),meadical cover, Garlands of plastic flowers, many types of chatanies and much more things and the best thing is that, they sale this product and also get money for their work from institute.
