What we do
Training, outreach, and a place families can come to.
We prepare special educators, share knowledge with the field, and keep counselling and community work close to the people who need it.
- 01
Prepare teachers and professionals
Build the people who deliver services to persons with intellectual disability — through structured training, not slogans.
- 02
Share knowledge with the field
Act as an information and extension centre for teachers, special educators, and rehabilitation professionals.
- 03
Work in the community
Promote community-based rehabilitation, especially for rural and low-income families around Kozhikode.
- 04
Take programmes beyond campus
Run outreach in intellectual disability so support is not limited to those who can walk through our gate.
- 05
Counsel children and parents
Offer counselling for children with special needs and the families who walk with them.
