CHILDREN with special needs in the Corporate Area were given an opportunity to express themselves confidently in a supportive and inclusive environment on Thursday during a function hosted by the Ministry of Education to mark Child Month.

The children from the Salvation Army School for the Blind, Danny Williams School for the Deaf, Carberry Court School of Special Education, Randolph Lopez School of Hope, and Hope Valley Experimental School gathered on the lawns of Devon House in St Andrew as part of the ministry’s Child Conversations initiative.

The event, which was held under the theme ‘Prioritising our children’s mental health, stronger minds, safer future’, saw the children being also given the opportunity to interact with their peers who do not have special needs.
