Perkins India looks for kids with vision impairment and various impairments (MDVI). In addition to having a vision impairment, children with MDVI may also have at least one other disability, such as a cognitive, developmental, hearing, or mobility problem. All of these kids are capable of learning, even though they might not see their environment the same as someone with normal eyesight or speak differently from other kids.

Intervention
StateStates
Uttar Pradesh
The goal of intervention for kids with various disabilities and visual impairments is to get over early obstacles to inclusion and learning. Important initial actions include making sure the child obtains a medical disability certificate from the government and allowing the child and family to use government programmes for people with disabilities. After that, families receive help in acquiring devices and assistive aids, such as wheelchairs or spectacles, for kids who can use them to enter a learning environment more easily.
At this point, intervention services—like therapeutic intervention—are essential for the kid to acquire the foundational knowledge and abilities needed to take part in educational opportunities. Due to the compounding effect of numerous disabilities, children need specialised instructional interventions and environment adaptations to make sense of their surroundings.
