The Manage Autism Now (MAN) is going to hold an elocution contest here on Saturday to understand the hidden talents and potentials among autistic children.
The contest would be held at the DAV School of Business Management (DSBM) at the Unit-8 DAV School. More than 30 autistic children from different schools would take part in the contest.
The MAN in support with DSBM has been conducting this elocution competition for last five years. The MAN is primarily engaged in providing appropriate therapy to autistic children to bring them to the mainstream society. It aims at improving communication, cognitive skills, social skills and enhancing the attention span of the kids through music therapy, play therapy, special education, yoga and many other types of training.
MAN Trust chairperson Swarnalata Mishra says, “The main purpose of organising this elocution contest is to know the hidden talents in autistic children is to bring out the best in them.”
In Bhubaneswar, there is a sizable number of autistic children who need special care. An Autism Therapy Centre (ATC) under the tutelage of Swarnalata Mishra takes care of these special children,
