#APPEAL_TO_PARENTS
#TogetherWeCan an Advocacy group addressing to the rights of children with disabilities based in Kochi, Kerala has filed a #Public_Interest_Litigation on May 2nd 2017 @ Kerala High Court to #Regulate_Therapy_Centres .
We filed this in the wake of increasing number of malpractices within therapy centers that were faced by us. We are primarily a group parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other Neurological Disabilities. We also have support from professionals working in the field, disability rights activists and other concerned individuals. #DEAR_PARENTS Please know that it is your #RIGHT to be inside during therapy for your child. It is also your #DUTY to be there and learn. If the therapist claims that your child will not cooperate if you sit inside , please understand that is due to lack of training on the part of the therapist OR a sheer unwillingness to train you. We need Professionals to guide and train us as those 3 hours a week of therapy in a clinic like setting is not enough. What happens at home is more important. We need to take on!! #Keep_our_children_safe! #Ask_for_Individualized_Education_Program #Ask_for_SMART_Goals #Ask_for_Monthly_Review_of_Progress
#Ask_for_documented_reports_of_everything
#Asl_for_qualification_of_therapist
#Ask_for_RCI_Registration_number
If we do not ask – NOBODY WILL! We HAVE to be the voice when our children cannot do it for themselves! #JOIN_US_to_BE_HEARD! #TogetherWeCan and #WeMust !
