Parents of kids with special needs have greater responsibility

BHUBANESWAR: Parents of children with special needs should consider their role as an opportunity to serve a noble cause, said Speaker Surama Padhy on Monday.

Addressing the 10th foundation day of SEN Globe, a special education wing at KiiT International School here, Padhy said children with special needs are divine creations of God and the parents and teachers instead of losing hope, must approach the challenges with enthusiasm and understanding.

“If we equip these children with life skills and vocational education, they can become self-reliant and contribute meaningfully to the society,” she said. Stating that these children are also nation-builders, she called upon teachers and therapists to continue their efforts with utmost dedication.
