Home Based Rehabilitation Programme (HBRP) In spite of special schools being setup, there is a section of society which is unable to utilize these benefits, due to lack of awareness, financial difficulties etc. For such sections, adarsh has set up a "Home Based Rehabilitation programme". It is a group that consists of mainly disabled children and their parents only. Such a group of children has already been formed in the vicinity of adarsh. It acts as a forum for the parents to discuss and share their problems. In addition,, counseling for the mothers , therapy and academic training are also provided These children and their mothers are visited by a team of experts comprising a Special Educator and a Therapist of Adarsh on 2 days in the week, at their homes and attends to a programme of therapy and academic /skill training according to the needs of the children. This unit now works only in some selected Panchayats in and around our special school at Kureekad. It is estimated that one such team can handle 15 challenged children. We have sent a project proposal to the Govt. of India for sanction and assistance to set up such a Home Based programme. If the Govt. approves of the project and helps us financially, we will be able to set up more such units in other Districts also.”
