Flip the Script, Think Participation!

Children and youth with disabilities have the ability and the right to participate! To participate means to do activities with enjoyment (not necessarily with perfection) in different settings.

In this video, Dr. Roopa Srinivasan helps us understand Participation as a key concept to working with children and youth with disabilities. She provides insight into what Participation means in the context of children with disabilities, shares some ways in which parents and professionals can use Participation in child development and offers advice on measuring successes (focus on how much the child is participating instead of perfecting goals like talking or walking) for children with disabilities.

Early Intervention. A term every parent should know about. The first 3 years of a child are critical for a child’s development and if any developmental delays are observed, it is important to seek Early Intervention.

Dr. Koyeli Sengupta, Director, Autism Intervention Services at Ummeed Child Development Center, helps us understand Early Intervention from the perspective of its outcomes, the role that therapists play and the developmental importance of the first 3 years of a child’s life. She emphasises how “learn the signs” and “act early” are the action points to remember and how they are fundamental to influencing outcomes for a child with developmental delay or disability.

She hopes to encourage families of children with disabilities or developmental delays to seek Early Intervention and spread this critical message.
