WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY – 2ND APRIL 2012
Gurukulam received a request from the National Inst. For Empowerment of Persons with Mutliple Disabilities (NIEPMD) on 30th March 2012 to conduct an awareness campaign for Autism .
About 18 teacher trainees along with two faculty members, Ms. Srigowri and Mr. Govindaraj visited the school at 10:15 am and entertained the kids with songs, dance and skits which brought out the importance of being sensitive to people with special needs.
One of the skits they performed showed an immovable rock, finally being pushed aside only with the collective help of society (doctors, psychoanalysts, children, parents and the general public). The kids grasped the relevance and the main ideas of the entertainment with ease. They also unhesitatingly joined in the dance and clapped along encouraging the performers. The teacher trainees interacted well with the school children and both sides had a great time.
