Singing stars..

This Sunday (25th July 2010)- a young child Siddharth came with his mother and aunt. Raju, another recovering PWS spoke to the child – practicing relaxed slow style, encouraging child to talk- at his own rate- while sachin counseled the mother and discussed “indirect” therapy with her. Family has a big role in such cases. Yes, this was a case of late onset (8 yrs) and it does not augur well for the child. But family and teachers can spell the difference between success and failure.
Then, Akash came with guitar and made us sing many songs. Vineet, Raju, Parmanand, Dayanand, Nishu and sachin- tested their range and throats (there is one patch, where we do sound horrible 🙁
We may not have cut an album but we had lot of fun. See below:

What is Self Help?

Since there is no medical cure and available therapy almost always ends in relapse and self-blame, it makes sense to develop problem solving skills on our own: you would surely learn to fix running repairs if you are going on a world tour, instead of carrying your mechanic with you. It is all the more useful since it is practiced in a group. You develop social and communication skills, instead of chasing fluency alone. TISA promotes four core techniques: Bouncing, Prolongation, Pausing and Voluntary stammering. In addition, we share and practice many more skills/ approaches: listening, Body language, team skills, leadership, self-assertion, peer counseling- above all being a member of a vibrant community, through fair give and take.
