The Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has organized an online summer camp where children with disabilities participated.
The workshop, held online for the first time since its inception, was aimed at children with intellectual disabilities and offered training workshops that include many entertainment and educational aspects.
“The workshop organizers decided to go online this year, with the aim of children continuing to benefit from this initiative while preserving their health and protecting them from the COVID-19.” Dr. May Jassim al-Muraisi, Executive Director of Clinical and Service Development with HMC.
“This year’s workshop aims to support children with intellectual disabilities and constructively address the challenges related to the coronavirus pandemic’s crisis.”
“The summer workshop initiative seeks to support children and teach them skills that will help them to become independent and build self-confidence to continue their lives naturally.
The annual summer workshop is supervised by a group of multidisciplinary supportive health service cadres, with expertise in therapeutic education and training methods based on scientific evidence, including occupational therapists, speech therapists, play therapists, and psychoanalysts.
