The centre also has  been selected for placement of students for contin-  ued training by AIMST University, Masterskill  and Mahsa University Colleges.

Majority of the children have improved physically  and mentally with the on going activities in the  centre. With consistent follow up visits and reas-  sessment and implementation of developmental  stimulation activities there will be further progress  for these children.

The guidelines from Ministry of Health serves as a  measurement for projects impact on the partici-  pants. The first comers will go through the assess-  ment, upon which a diagnosis is made. This would  be followed by establishing a goal and a care plan,  to be implemented later on. An evaluation and  reassessment is done upon implementing the proj-  ect. At this stage any necessary change or short-  comings are realised and the implementation  would be adjusted accordingly. As the child  progresses in the respective developmental area,  the assistance would be reduced gradually.
