Electronic teaching aids for disabled children

ELECTRONIC TEACHING AIDS FOR DISABLED CHILDREN

( Project #21529 from Balajothi Centre for the Disabled Trust)

Project Report due date : Feb 16, 2020

Project Report sent on   : Jan 31, 2020

Funding target : $2000

Funds raised to date : $532

Children with special needs have a lot of difficulty communicating and interacting with others. They also find it very difficult to grasp concepts like numbers and alphabets if they are taught using conventional class room techniques.

This project has equipped our children and care-givers with electronic teaching aids like toys with audio-visual capabilities, lego blocks and tablets. Our experience has shown that these teaching aids completely transform the way children learn and interact. For example, they feel really comfortable with tablets and explore different apps by themselves. They also internalize concepts taught using these aids much more easily.

This project has benefitted all of 25 children we train at our facility. In the long run, it will develop vocational skills such as typing and data entry that can help these children find jobs. It will also make it easier for our care givers to interact and work with these children.

Balajothi thanks YOU DONOR for your generous and sacrificial donation of $532 to support this cause.  Using these funds we have been able to provide desk tops, lap tops, electronic key boards and I-pads which are increasingly being used by both children and staff to enhance their learning / teaching skills.  We humbly request your continued support in adding more equipment in the coming days.

Balajothi thanks GlobalGiving for their efforts to support the under privileged and disabled children in changing their lives. Thank you GlobalGiving !!
