The Wellness Centre at IIT Roorkee provides a variety of support services to students, including wheelchairs, hearing aids, and cycles. These services are available to students with disabilities and financial issues who are enrolled in the institute.
The Wellness Centre has a team of professionals who are trained to assess the needs of students with disabilities. Once a student’s needs have been assessed, the Wellness Centre can provide the appropriate equipment or services. For example, if a student needs a wheelchair, the Wellness Centre can provide a wheelchair.
The Wellness Centre also provides support services to students with hearing impairments. These services include hearing aids, speech therapy, and sign language interpretation.
In addition to wheelchairs and hearing aids, the Wellness Centre also provides cycles to students with financial issues. These cycles are specially given to needy students and can be used to get around the institute’s campus.
The Wellness Centre’s support services are designed to help students with disabilities succeed at IIT Roorkee. By providing these services, the Wellness Centre is helping to create a more inclusive environment for all students.
Here are some specific examples of how the Wellness Centre has helped students with disabilities:
A student with impairment in lower limb was provided with a wheelchair and training on how to use it. The student was then able to participate in classes and activities just like any other student.
A student with a hearing impairment was provided with hearing aids and speech therapy. The student was then able to communicate effectively with her professors and classmates.
The Wellness Centre’s support services have made a significant difference in the lives of many students with disabilities. These services have helped students to succeed academically, socially, and personally.
