Our organization’s prime focus area of work is to address the challenges and problems of people with neurological disorders by adopting a holistic approach to create an equitable and sustainable environment for them. We as an organization disbelieve in the term “Treatment & Rehabilitation” used for the children with special needs and would instead like to devise our strategy, which would “EMPOWER” these children to be an integral part of our society.

Our Vision

Committed to create a healthy and cognizant environment for the people with special needs.

EMPOWER

We would primarily engage with children suffering from cerebral palsy. Our vision, as an organization, is to support such children to engage themselves in essential physical therapy, different activities and cultivate and pursue an interest, which in turn will help them to develop self-confidence to interact with the outside world.
It has been rightfully said “where there is will, there is a way”. It is important for each of us to believe in ourselves to be able to achieve something. Motivation comes from within and it is important for us to inform our children about different Paralympians and others who despite their physical challenges have achieved the name and fame globally.
Perception of society towards oneself highly influences his/her approach towards the society. It is also the responsibility of the society to accept the children with special needs and give them an opportunity to interact and get along with children without special needs. We would like to organize seminars and workshops in schools and focus on social integration of children with special needs.
We believe each child, despite physical disabilities, should be provided with equal opportunities to learn and showcase their talent. We propose to provide a platform where everyone can participate in different activities and get to socialize. The opportunities will be provided to them to become part of a larger group – whether in the classroom, or as part of a smaller group of children that play a sport or take part in an activity.
Apart from providing support for treatment and conducting different activities, we believe it is also important to inculcate the feeling and confidence to be able to indulge in some self-sustaining activities. We plan to achieve this by conducting various workshops and establishing centers to conduct occupational therapies and vocational trainings, on a case-to-case basis.
Those with disabilities have greater challenges to access health care, which is aggravated by poverty. These special persons need to be provided with a fair opportunity to attain the best possible healthcare. We would ensure they are able to execute tasks normally and most importantly, to help them get access to high quality treatment options.
This component primarily deals with our outreach activities and public engagement workshops such as seminars, workshops, training sessions, webinars, conferences, and capacity building boot camp sessions. The emphasis through this component is to make the parents, guardians, and relatives of patients aware through tailored workshops and seminars in public and private hospitals, which will intern sensitize them and several other people about neurological disorders.

Why Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in childhood and young people in both developing and developed world. In India, it has been found that around 3.8% of the population suffers from some disabilities and nearly 15-20% of physically disabled children are affected by Cerebral Palsy. The estimated incidence for cerebral palsy is around 3/1000 live births.

It makes most sense to connote that children with special needs are to be given paramount importance, and that they need to be accepted by society on the same grounds as any normal child. Apart from motor disability, other major challenge, which any child or an adult with special needs faces, is social awkwardness. The possibility of getting side-lined or of not getting enough opportunity to interact with able children of the same age, make them feel dejected and isolated. In most of the cases, the children with special needs lack self-determination of making their own choices and this makes them more dependent on others. Studies have highlighted the social approach towards disabled people, as they are likely to be treated as if they were passive, dependent on their families, professionals, and society in general to make their life decisions. Self-confidence of being able to perform an action all by oneself without being dependent on others determines how a person accepts oneself. It begins to take root in early childhood and develops within a child as their personality and socialization, help frame their self-image and confidence. Disability in a child’s life can make them feel somehow separated from the others, and different. And this mostly makes them feel out-of-sorts socially.
