India Mission Trip

 

Cole Therapy Center takes Speech Therapy to Vellore, India.  Join us in the excitement of taking patient care to new levels!

 

Cole Therapy Center partnered up with Hope House International in sending three Speech Language Pathologist to Vellore, India in January 2010.  Although this was the first trip for Cole, we will be returning next January to follow-up with the program effectiveness.  Throughout the two week visit in January, the group focused on the following:

  • Assisted 26 boys living at the Ranipet Government Boys Home

  • Developed culturally appropriate assessment tools

  • Trained local daycare and government home staff

  • Visited with local hospital staff and therapists

  • Promoted importance of Speech Therapy to local politicians

  • Developed home programs and a follow-up schedule for the boys


Throughout the next year, we will be actively working with the boys who were identified as needing speech therapy services, as well as all others involved.  We are looking forward to our return trip next year!
