Neurodevelopment Update – Ampara | March 30 & 31

This collaborative programme was organised by the Sri Lanka College of Paediatricians, the Sri Lanka Association for Child Development, and the Galoya Nimna Clinical Society – Ampara.

Two impactful days. One shared goal – Improving the lives of children with neurodevelopmental needs.

A truly inspiring multidisciplinary programme brought together paediatricians, psychiatrists, rehabilitation specialists, therapists, and nursing officers from across Batticaloa, Trincomalee, and Ampara.

From insightful lectures to hands-on training with real clinical cases, the sessions were practical, engaging, and meaningful – with 9 children contributing to rich learning experiences.

Grateful to our eminent speakers, dedicated Ayati team, and all participants for making this a success.

ස්නායු සංවර්ධන දැනුම බෙදාදීමේ වැඩසටහන – අම්පාර | මාර්තු 30 සහ 31 - 2026

වැදගත් දින දෙකක්. එක් පොදු ඉලක්කයක් - ස්නායු සංවර්ධන අවශ්‍යතා ඇති දරුවන්ගේ ජීවින මට්ටම වැඩිදියුණු කිරීම.

උතුරු පළාතේ දියත් කල සාර්ථක වැඩසටහනකින් පසුව, මෙම මාලාවේ දෙවන සැසිය මෙයින් සනිටුහන් වුණි.

මෙම අගනා වැඩසටහන මඩකලපුව, ත්‍රිකුණාමලය සහ අම්පාර පුරා ළමා රෝග විශේෂඥයින්, මනෝචිකිත්සකයින්, පුනරුත්ථාපන විශේෂඥයින්, චිකිත්සකයින් සහ හෙද නිලධාරීන් එකට එක් කිරීමට අනගි අවස්තාවක් විය.

දැනුම ගොඩනගන දේශනවල සිට සායනික අවස්ථා සමඟ ප්‍රායෝගික පුහුණුව දක්වා විහිදි සැසි ප්‍රායෝගික, ආකර්ශනීය සහ අර්ථවත් ඒවා විය - ඊට අමතරව දරුවන් 9 දෙනෙකුද දැනුම බෙදා දෙන අත්දැකීම් සඳහා දායක විය.

මෙය සාර්ථක කර ගැනීම සඳහා අපගේ කීර්තිමත් කථිකයින්ටද, කැපවූ අයති කණ්ඩායමටද සහ සියලුම සහභාගි වූවන්ටද කෘතඥ වෙමු.

ඊට අමතරව අම්පාර ගල්ඔය නිම්න සායනික සංගමයට විශේෂ ස්තූතිය පුද කරමු.
සහයෝගීතාවයන් ශක්තිමත් කිරීම සහ දිවයින පුරා ස්නායු සංවර්ධන සත්කාර වැඩි දියුණු කිරීම සඳහා අපගේ ගමන දිගටම කරගෙන යමු.

World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), celebrated annually on March 21st, is a global awareness day to advocate for the rights, inclusion, and well-being of people with Down syndrome. The date, 21/3, signifies the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome. A major focus of this day is improving employment opportunities. Everyone deserves the chance to contribute their talents to the workforce; with the right support and inclusive workplace policies, individuals with Down syndrome can excel in various professional roles, fostering a more diverse and productive society.

සෑම වසරකම මාර්තු 21 වන දින ලෝක ඩවුන් සින්ඩ්‍රෝම් දිනය (World Down Syndrome Day) සමරනු ලබන්නේ එම තත්ත්වය සහිත පුද්ගලයන්ගේ අයිතිවාසිකම් සහ යහපැවැත්ම පිළිබඳව ලෝකය දැනුවත් කිරීම සඳහා ය. මෙහිදී රැකියා අවස්ථා කෙරෙහි විශේෂ අවධානයක් යොමු කෙරේ. ඩවුන් සින්ඩ්‍රෝම් සහිත පුද්ගලයන්ට දක්ෂ ලෙස වැඩ කිරීමේ හැකියාව පවතින අතර, ඔවුන්ට සමාන රැකියා අවස්ථා සහ සහයෝගය ලබා දීමෙන් ඔවුන්ව සමාජයේ ක්‍රියාකාරී සාමාජිකයන් බවට පත් කළ හැකිය. විවිධත්වයෙන් යුත් සේවා ස්ථානයක් නිර්මාණය කිරීම සැමටම වැදගත් වේ.

ஒவ்வொரு ஆண்டும் மார்ச் 21 அன்று உலக டவுன் சிண்ட்ரோம் தினம் (WDSD) கொண்டாடப்படும். டவுன் சிண்ட்ரோம் உள்ளவர்களின் உரிமைகள், அனைவரையும் உள்ளடக்குதல் மற்றும் நல்வாழ்வுக்காக வாதிடும் ஒரு உலகளாவிய விழிப்புணர்வு தினமாகும். 21/3 என்ற
திகதியானது, டவுன் சிண்ட்ரோமை ஏற்படுத்தும் 21வது குரோமோசோமின் மும்மடங்காக்கத்தின் தனித்துவத்தைக் குறிக்கிறது. வேலைவாய்ப்புகளை மேம்படுத்துவதே இந்த நாளின் முக்கிய நோக்கமாகும். பணியிடத்தில் தங்கள் திறமைகளைப் வெளிப்படுத்த அனைவருக்கும் வாய்ப்பு கிடைக்க வேண்டும்; சரியான ஆதரவு மற்றும் அனைவரையும் உள்ளடக்கிய பணியிடக் கொள்கைகளுடன், டவுன் சிண்ட்ரோம் கொண்ட தனிநபர்கள் பல்வேறு தொழில்முறைப் பணிகளில் சிறந்து விளங்கினால், மேலும் பன்முகத்தன்மை வாய்ந்த மற்றும் ஆக்கப்பூர்வமான சமூகத்தை வளர்க்க முடியும்.
