Early Intervention Unit (EI)
Initiated in August 2011, the program specifically caters to children aged 0-6 years with confirmed disabilities or developmental delays. This intervention focuses on eight key developmental areas: physical, motor, daily activities,sensory, cognition, communication, socio-emotional, and play. At its core, Parent Training is essential as it addresses the guilt and trauma parents often experience when their child is diagnosed with a disability. Sankalp prioritizes Early Intervention (EI) since timely rehabilitation therapies during early years can significantly mitigate the effects of the disability. Each EI session spans 6 months: January-June and July-December, running from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon, Monday to Friday. It’s recommended that children attend with a caregiver.
At the heart of SLC is our commitment to ensuring continuity after our Early Intervention (EI) program, designed especially for children aged 7-17 years.
Reception Category (6-12 years): Here, our emphasis is on cultivating ‘functional independence’ concerning daily activities and academics. This encompasses self-awareness, environmental understanding, feeding routines and toileting, among others.
Transitional Category (12-17 years): Our focus shifts to equipping these adolescents with essential life-skills, ranging from money identification, basic computer literacy, time comprehension, to pre-vocational training.
SLC sessions are meticulously structured, running from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, Monday through Friday, and spotlight accessible learning materials and teaching strategies as their core components.
” To offer an integrative platform dedicated to providing the finest therapies and training tailored for children with disabilities focusing on their holistic development and empowering parents with essential education around disability and intervention”
OutPatient Department (OP)
Sankalp’s journey began with OP, which remains our initial touchpoint for every child. Here, we conduct comprehensive assessments to understand areas of concern, leading to:
– Home-Based Plans & Parent Education: Parents receive training about their child’s specific needs and the steps to take at home.
– Center-Based Rehabilitation: Depending on the nature and severity of the disability, regular or periodic therapies at our center are recommended.
We also offer home modification services, creating a supportive environment in the child’s residence. And, for families outside Udaipur, our counseling and training ensure that the child receives a nurturing environment even at home.
Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR)
Understanding that not every family can approach us, we chose to reach out to them. Our CBR initiative collaborates with existing organizations already making strides in the disability or physiotherapy domain. Through these partnerships, we conduct awareness workshops and talks, targeting parents and communities. At Sankalp, our doors are always open for new collaborations under CBR, aiming for consistent and widespread support.
Training Programmes
Education, for us, is a continuous journey. We ardently believe in regular training for our staff and caregivers. With immense support from the Vidya Sagar organization, Chennai, we have initiated our in-house training programs. In 2016, we successfully launched a certificate course on ‘Childhood Disorder and Development Therapy’. Besides this comprehensive course, we hold frequent one-day workshops on Autism, cerebral palsy, vision andlearning, toileting, learning from the environment, play, and more. Our doors are also open to students from various fields for internships and observational visits. Sankalp’s reputation in pediatric rehabilitation is noteworthy, and with our passion for knowledge-sharing, we always strive to
stay abreast of the latest trends and practices.
