TRAINING & PROGRAMMES

Vocational Rehabilitation

Karachi Vocational Training Centre is the 1st Vocational training center with a unique Job Placement Program in Pakistan for the intellectually challenged. Over 500 intellectually challenged (IC) persons have been rehabilitated by KVTC and are engaged in paying jobs all over Karachi.

What We do?

As intellectual disabilities are not illnesses, there are no treatments per se. Instead, interventions focus on identifying abilities and limitations. The goal is to provide sufficient supports that maximize each person’s functioning. KVTC is the only centre in Sindh that offers a holistic solution to all rehabilitation needs of intellectually challenged persons and involves the 3 stages of rehabilitation:

    • Exploration
    • Understanding
    • Action

KVTC is the only SEN training centre in Sindh with a comprehensive Sports & PE Curriculum:

  • 1st Special Educational Needs (SEN) training centre in Karachi to win over 1000 Special Olympics medals.
  • 1st SEN training centre to consecutively win over 1327 medals and 7 consecutive Taekwondo championships.
  • Partnered with the British Council and UK Sports Board to develop and implement Pakistan’s 1st Inclusive Sports & Physical Education Curriculum.
  • Capacity building of over 44 SEN Institutes in Karachi.

Therapeutic Units

The common characteristics of intellectual disabilities are: difficulty in learning and processing information; problems with abstract thought; and problems with social interactions occur at varying levels unique to each individual. Intellectual impairment involves problems with mental abilities that affect day-to-day functioning in three areas:

  • Conceptual – includes problems with skill in language, reading, writing, mathematics, reasoning, memory, knowledge retention.
  • Social – refers to issues with empathy, judgment, communication, making and keeping friends, and other social functions.
  • Practical – focuses on problems with self-care, like personal hygiene, job duties, personal finance & organization.

For KVTC it’s critical that parents who suspect their child may have an intellectual impairment seek counseling and help from their qualified mental health and medical professionals. For them we create a therapeutic unit whose services are given below:

Psychodiagnostic & Counseling

Sensory Interogation

Occupational Therapy

Clinical psychologists meet with trainee to identify problems emotional, mental and behavioral in their lives. Through observation, interviews and tests, the psychologist will diagnose any existing or potential disorders. They formulate a program of treatment according to the client’s needs. Psychologists monitor the client’s progress on a regular basis to ensure that their needs are met by the course of action, and to adjust it if necessary.

Sensory Unit at KVTC is divided into two rooms. One room is specifically designed as the “Therapeutic Room” with a present day Western researched cubicle type of a setting for the population diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorder. It is an acute or long-term care corner that is converted into quiet room spaces which are designed to be more sensory supportive and used primarily for the purposes of crisis de-escalation and/or prevention.

Occupational Therapy

VOCATIONAL SKILLS

Carpentry

TEXTILE SKILLS

The general work place in Pakistan still has a long way to go in terms of being accessible to people with physical disabilities, whereby most employers are reluctant to hire intellectually challenged people because they perceive them to have limited or insufficient capabilities to perform jobs. This lack of awareness results in even stronger barriers for intellectually challenged people who are almost never considered for employment. While KVTC has had unprecedented success in this area, we feel that we can find employment for more intellectually challenged people through the set up of small-medium enterprises, based on the skills they learn at the centre, and the manufacture and sale of items produced and marketed by intellectually challenged people themselves.
