We help physically & intellectually challenged children mostly from underprivileged community integrate into mainstream society by developing their abilities and skills.
Myths and misconceptions about disability coupled with poverty compound the issue and force them to be isolated, ostracized and marginalized, sometimes even by the family members.
Given enabling environment with proper rehabilitation support, many such children can lead independent life despite severe disabilities. It is proven that with right environment, training and rehabilitation they can lead independent lives despite having severe disabilities and not be a burden on parents. Intervention, however, must occur early. It must be initiated in an organized manner. India being large demography, state alone hasn’t been able to penetrate to desired extent. Therefore, it becomes necessary for NGOs like SANKALP to bridge the gap.
SANKALP follows a scientific & structured approach. Each child is assessed by a clinical psychologist to ascertain type & level of disabilities. Professionally qualified special educators, behavior, speech & physio therapist with dietician then jointly design & implement a child specific plan. This plan is based on child’s strengths, weaknesses, interests, abilities with specific focus on empowering them by their holistic development. Sankalp targets to achieve full potential of each child by working on their various skills/abilities.
