Creating Impact

Social Awareness Progarm

Our approach to Social Awareness is to reach people and make them alert to the situations causing the children to be mentally challenged which could be avoided. Awareness can also create new improvements for the mentally ill. As there is more demand from the public, it can produce a flow of attention. This attention can eventually result in great changes for the mentally ill. It can lead to improvements on policy, research, and service development.

Our Approach

We are providing behavior modification of the mentally handicapped through the services of physiotherapy, Physical therapy, Behaviour Treatment, and special education techniques by a team of interdisciplinary teachers, whom we approached by paying visits, who are employed in other noted institutions. The staff is updated on every event to subject such as law, accessibility, Social Awareness, Group plans, workshops

We have train our students in daily living skills, who are unable to do their daily chores, like eating, dressing, grooming, and also toileting etc. The main purpose of this training programme is to infuse confidence in them, to make them feel that, they are quite efficient and can attend to their daily needs with more confidence than ever as the ordinary children of their age group and move in the society with some satisfaction facing challenges.
