An institute for the habilitation of differently abled children, i.e. those with brain damage, having symptoms of Cerebral Palsy and other sensory-motor childhood developmental disorders was started at Tripunithura in 1998, under the name of Adarsh by a Charitable Trust registered under the same name.

The intention was to " rehabilitate patients with Cerebral Palsy ( CP ) and persons with other disabilities". Keeping in view the resource constraints and limited technical expertise available, right from the beginning, till July 2003, the school was concentrating only on children with Cerebral Palsy. From July 03 when  a separate wing for habilitation of children with Autism  was added, the attempt has been to cover more disabilties adding Learning Disorders and Downs Syndrome also in 2008.Today,(July 2010) the school has on its rolls over 191 children belonging to all religions and communities. Both these, namely Learning Disorders and Downs  Syndrome , are being handled at our Centre in Vennala, Ernakulam.Including these 2, the number of children being trained is over 230.

When the present school building was completed in 3 floors and with a covered area of of about 13000 sq ft , it was anticipated that the space provided would be adequate for many years . But due to the unexpected increase in the number of children from 80 in December 05 to 181 in March 09 and the provision of additional space for many new activities,  we have  run short of space. With the help for the additional building space, received from THINK INDIA, Foundation, Dallas, Texas and promise of adequate help  from our ever dependable Chief Patron,Shri CKMenon , we have had a plan drawn up, again by Shri PKR Menon, the Architect who designed and helped us immensely in putting up the present beautiful building. The idea is to extend the building at the back, in 3 floors, with a total covered area of about 9000 sq ft (3000x3) sq ft. For now, we are planning only one floor to accomodate 6 class rooms, a kitchen , canteen and a meeting room. Cost of construction has gone up substantially since 2005 and therefore for all the 3 floors to come up, we need CONSIDERABLE ADDTIONAL SUPPORT. The work started in january 2010 and almost 75% of the work is over now. For more details-
