Special Child Development Centre |
| |
 |
For nearly three decades, Reach(Society for Remedial Education Assessment counseling Handicapped) has tried to add meaning to the lives of childrenwho are differently-abled. |
|
| |
|
The organisation added the swasraya centre for South India in Thrissur, in 1991, with 5 hearing impaired girls;the centre began in Shanta Menon's home and is now in it's own building in Kuttur; Shanta's first exposure to disability was through her sister who suffered brain damage due to injury. |
|
| |
|
It is clear that not enough is done for 10% of India's population that is physically and mentally challenged. |
|
| |
|
In the West,many such individuals are fully integrated into the rest of society and even perform challenging jobs like watch and precision scientific instrument manufacturing. |
|
| |
|
Reach-swasraya has not only helped challenged children grow into confident adults but have seen to it that they are financially independent, too. |
