The Centre has students from two to eighteen years of age who suffer from a wide range of physical and mental disabilities including cerebral palsy, hyperactivity, autism, blindness, down syndrome, global developmental delay etc.
We currently have about 60 children out of whom about 20 are in various stages of immobility who need physiotherapy. Occupational Therapy is provided for most of the children to strengthen their balance and fine motor skills, while a part-time speech therapist helps them achieve their maximum communication potential.
