Dear Listers: Greetings from the Eyeway Helpdesk for the day!
Follow below the Daily Eyeway Alerts: 1. News Alerts- Mobile clinic given to the District Differently Abled Rehabilitation Department by Tamil Nadu Government promises to provide a wide spectrum of therapies and treatments to the differently abled children. Children of age group 0-6 with different kinds of disabilities are being taken to the District Level Early Intervention Centres designated for each disability for treatment. However the difficulties in transporting such children to these centres discourage care takers and they often skip visits. This factor remains an impediment for differently abled children to make use of the opportunity for the early intervention. This prompted the State government to give a mobile clinic for those children.

The National Association for the Blind (NAB) is all set to launch the application which will help the visually impaired operate their cellphones through its text-to-speech feature. "Users can just tap on the cellphone and follow voice instructions in order to navigate," NAB chief executive officer Homiyar Mobedji said. Mobedji was in the city to monitor the progress of the application, which is being developed in all Indian languages by city-based software firm Extentia Information Technology.

The court also ordered government to advertise other posts identified for the disabled in a month. Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah passed these interim orders on a petition filed by Judicial Activism Panel, a public interest litigation firm, challenging non-implementation of employment quota for disabled persons and non-allocation of funds for them in the annual budget.
