Objectives of the Workshop

 The one-day workshop aimed at bringing together carers leading care for children with special needs from different facilities in Port Harcourt. The workshop objectives included:

• Support to a community of practice and engagements in networks of carers for children with special needs.
• Advanced understanding of the context, other support groups, major gaps and challenges
• Identify obligations (not currently known to the organization) including government policies and regulations, binding for engagement in working with children with special needs.
• If possible, coordinate an expert presentation on selected key topics to provide added knowledge for carers.
• Learning and sharing best practices among participants
