A one day ICT Training Programme was conducted on 31st December 2009 for the special educators of Marion Play Home, Edayilakonam and Shalom Special School, Vattapara. Nine teachers from these institutes participated at the training programme. The teachers were helped to get familiarised with Gcompris, the free software educational package. Special educators  find Gcompris package  helpful in improving the functional academic concept of the intellectually disabled children.

Feedbacks from the teachers suggest that the teachers would greatly appreciate the programme if the medium of instruction of the Gcompris package is  in Malayalam.
