Tamil Nadu governor K Rosaiah
on Thursday released a DVD containing a new computer-aided guide for
differently-abled children at a function in Raj Bhavan, Chennai.
The VCD contains learning material for autistic children and differently endowed children, prepared by Trichy Bharathidasan University
vice-chancellor K Meena. The first part has five modules imparting
skills of reading, listening, communication, writing and motivation. The
second part deals with scrap mathematics, basic mathematics and advance
mathematics.
Rosaiah handed over the first copy of the VCD to Saraswathi Palani, trustee of Bright School for Autism,
Mogappair. Rosaiah said, "Approximately 2% of the total Indian
population suffer from differently-abled and a sizeable section of them
are in rural areas. They need technology based assistance to enter
mainstream."
K Meena had earlier developed computer-aided tools soft voice and soft touch for mentally retarded children and people with mathematical dyscalculia and residual vision.
