Shirley is a physiotherapist, Sue is a visual impairment specialist and
Brian works with older children with disabilities. Shirley’s skills
are greatly in demand as there is such a huge need for good physio in
Belarus.
Last Autumn Sue held a training session in Gomel in the use of symbols
for communication with children who do not speak. This was extremely successful
and the Ministry of Education had asked if the same course could be held
in Minsk.
Special needs teachers and speech therapists from many parts of Belarus
attended the course held at the Republican Rehabilitation Centre. All
three members of the team worked to provide training in non verbal communication,
and the use of appropriate seating for the children. The Ministry were
delighted with this and hope that Sue will organise more training in the
future.
