Addressing a press conference, Health Minister Chris Fearne, alongside Education and Sports Minister Clifton Grima, inaugurated a new Marsa complex which will give aid, education and support to kids with sensory processing disorder.
Fearne noted how medical science was acquiring more awareness of such disorders and thus required further social awareness and institutional assistance.
The Health Minister stated how the data shows that around 1 in 20 kids could suffer from such a condition. And despite not everyone needing intense medical care, some would greatly benefit from such rooms.
Called Sensory Integration Therapy, the new centre will focus on providing such tools for children who are born with some form of sensory processing disorder. The clinics also give mentoring to those seeking to continue their studying in the field, given that this is a very young and specialised form of therapy.
Speaking during the press conference, Minister Clifton Grima said that the educational system needs to incorporate all children, whatever their context, as to ensure that they all have the best assistance which could bee provided. He said that this initiative has children as its focus.
