Sri Vijaya Puram, Aug. 5: A total of 55 Children with Special Needs (CwSN) underwent identification and medical assessment during a two-day camp organised under the Inclusive Education Programme in Rangat and Kadamtala, with 11 children identified as suspected cases requiring further evaluation. The initiative brought together medical specialists and education support services to assess children and facilitate access to need-based assistance.

The camp was organised by the Block Project Office (BPO), Rangat, at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Auditorium and Government Senior Secondary School, Kadamtala. Medical teams and specialists from Community Health Centre (CHC), Rangat, Community Health Centre, Kadamtala, and ALIMCO-PMDK conducted the assessments.

The assessment covered a broad range of health, educational and support services. Children underwent comprehensive health check-ups, vision and eye screening, hearing assessments and dental examinations. The camp also offered dietary counselling, educational and vocational evaluation, sign language support and guidance related to inclusive education.

Across both venues, 55 Children with Special Needs were assessed during the two-day programme. Of these, 11 children were identified as suspected cases and will require further evaluation.
