PSALM Education Program

(Pune Supreme And Lion Medical Education Program )

Psalm means a religious song or poem praise god
Our word "Psalms" comes from the Greek word "psalmoi" or "psallo" which can mean lyrics or poetry to music or playing
instruments. In the Greek the "ps" is made by the letter "psi" and the p and s are run together in pronunciation like if you were saying
"psst" to get someone's attention. However, when it comes into English pronunciation the "p" falls away and it becomes like "salms."

Normal Health
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental,
and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Intellectual Disability
Intellectual disability is also known as mental retardation (MR) and mental handicap, although these older terms are being
used less frequently.
Nation Institute Of Health (NHI) defined
Intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) are disorders that are usually present at birth and that negatively affect the
trajectory of the individuals physical, intellectual, and/or emotional development. Many of these conditions affect multiple
body parts or systems.
Intellectual disability means a significantly reduced ability to understand new or complex information and to learn and apply
new skills (impaired intelligence). This results in a reduced ability to cope independently (impaired social functioning), and
begins before adulthood, with a lasting effect on development.
Intellectual disability affects about 23 percent of the general population. 7590% of the affected people have mild
intellectual disability.
Children with intellectual disability may learn to sit up, to crawl, or to walk later than other children, or they may learn to talk
later. Both adults and children with intellectual disability may also exhibit some or all of the following characteristics:
Delays in oral language development
Deficits in memory skills
Difficulty learning social rules
Difficulty with problem solving skills
Delays in the development of adaptive behaviors such as self-help or self-care skills
Lack of social inhibitors
Rolling over, sitting up, crawling, or walking late
Talking late or having trouble with talking
Slow to master things like potty training, dressing, and feeding himself or herself
Difficulty remembering things
Inability to connect actions with consequences
Behavior problems such as explosive tantrums
Difficulty with problem-solving or logical thinking

Children with intellectual disability learn more slowly than a typical child. Children may take longer to learn language,
develop social skills, and take care of their personal needs, such as dressing or eating. Learning will take them longer,
require more repetition, and skills may need to be adapted to their learning levels. Nevertheless, virtually every child is
able to learn, develop and become a participating member of the community.
