Description

This presentation will help the educators and practitioners to adapt and apply the intervention to their relevant target groups for addressing the mental health issues and improve mental wellbeing. This study aims to examine the impact of psychological intervention that address and improve the mental health issues among children and young adults with deafblindness and multiple disabilities. Individuals with deafblindness experience challenges in empathising with others, communication, mobility & gathering information which leads them to be withdrawn and isolated from people, things and the world around them. Aforesaid barriers could lead to high chances for having mental health issues. There are not many initiatives in the India focused on mental health issues of persons with complex disabilities such as deafblindness.
