Gender: Female
Date of Birth: 29-07-2000
Disability: Mental Retardation (MR)
Priyanka is a hyperactive child and finds it very difficult to sit at one place for more than 5 minutes. It is but natural that she finds it difficult to concentrate on reading and writing.
Priyanka joined us as a day scholar. She came to Riya not knowing how to hold a pencil; today she can write numbers from 1 to 5 and alphabets A & B. It is such a great achievement by itself. Priyanka can identify few objects in the immediate surrounding and also name them. That does not restrict her skills. With the help of her parents she has learnt to prepare her favorite Maggie Noodles. She had a problem of drooling but today she has not only learnt to control it but also practice basic table manners.
Futuristic goal for Priyanka is to make her write numbers from 1 – 20 and capital letters from A – Z. She is a kid with a lot of promise. We are all proud of her for the progress she has shown in such a short span. Her Father today is all smiles about his daughter’s achievements.
Great post. I have vague memories of chenille bedspreads that were prized by my grandmother – as opposed to the old quilted blankets. How things change.
