Geographies Served

Programs

  • Income Generation Activity and Vocational Training

    To enable the deafblind person to live a life of self-reliance, Sense International India identifies the right craft in which training is to be provided to the young adult. The training includes training in independent living, communication, soft skills and basic financial literacy. Post the training the individuals are helped by the organisation in setting up small businesses according to the person's inclinations helped by family members. Seed capital is also provided to kick-start the initiative where required.

  • Advocacy Programme

    The organisation is active in the space of advocating for the rights of deafblind people. It tries to educate the community to create a bigger impact and partners with other organisations, strengthening advocacy campaigns besides trying to influence mainstream legislation and policy makers to consider the needs of deafblind persons and include them in such laws. It has successfully managed to include deafblindness under ‘multiple disability’ in the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016.

  • Inclusion Programme

    The deafblind children are inducted into mainstream schools enabling them to study in an inclusive environment. This not only boosts the confidence of the specially abled children but also allows them to follow the same curriculum followed by their abled counterparts, with special inputs and adaptions.

  • Early Intervention and Identification Programme

    With a belief that early intervention and identification of disabilities reduce further complications, Sense International India has placed specialists in the disciplines of paediatrics, special education, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, audiology and speech therapy in partnership with hospitals at their premises. The specialists conduct neo-natal and vision screening checks to identify disabilities and those detected with multi-sensory loss are followed up provided appropriate treatment.

  • Educational Intervention

    The needs of each child with deafblindness and multiple disabilities are carefully taken into consideration and the organisation plans for appropriate interventions. It provides special education to such children and sees to their development in all the areas of physical, sensory, intellectual, psychological and social functioning. A multidisciplinary team of specialists attend to each child and guides them constantly.
