Project Description
Deaf-Blind & Multi-Handicapped (DBMH) Programme
Deaf-blind and multi-handicapped refers to a combination of visual and hearing impairments, mute, autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or mental retardation etc.
Initiated in 1997, this programme provides services solely for children with visual impairment and other associated disabilities, ranging from 7 to 18 years old, irrespective of race or religion.
After assessment of the situation of each child, the school will design an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for each student. Activities are designed to help the children achieve significant growth and acquire basic living skills. Their development and achievement for each year are assessed by an annual progress report.
St Nicholas’ Home, Penang is a non-profit charitable organization, which aims to respond to the evolving needs of blind and visually impaired (BVI) community in Malaysia, irrespective of their religion, race and background.
