“Such moments remind us that rehabilitation is as much about emotional support and community as it is about learning and independence,” said Dr Beula Christy, Head, IVR, LVPEI.

Visually impaired children enjoyed games and rides designed to engage their senses and comfort levels. Separate lawns were dedicated to these activities, where IVR’s rehabilitation professionals curated games that encouraged participation, teamwork, and fun.

The families explored a variety of rides and water activities, enjoyed freshly prepared meals at the park’s food courts, and soaked in an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance.
