Adarsh Charitable Trust’s Activities:

• Adarsh Rehabilitation Center:  The Centre has facilities for children affected by Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Down syndrome and Multiple Disabilities. The Center is accredited for Open Basic Education under National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS). It also provides vocational rehabilitation services, sensory integration therapy and family counseling sessions. During the year 276 children had undergone rehabilitation services. Around 64 students attended examinations through NIOS. Under ACT’s vocational unit they have three sub units which functions with the help of trained youth with disabilities and helps them earn and gain financial independence.  
• Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR):  ACT runs a community-based rehabilitation program to help challenged children who cannot visit ACT for training due to various reasons. They have a Risk Baby Unit which works with five major hospitals and employs a Developmental Therapist who examines new-born babies at risk of any potential disability and advises the parents of remedial measures when required. ACT also runs a Home Based Rehabilitation (HBR) program with five units. Each HBR unit has a physiotherapist, a special educator and an assistant in each team to provide the required training and therapy. The focus of the program is to reach out to children from poor financial backgrounds and those who have never received any training or therapy due to lack of awareness.
• Child Development Evaluation Intervention and Research Center (CDEIRC): The Center has facilities for need based Speech therapy, Physiotherapy and Psychological evaluation and has remedial education for children in need after careful evaluation. Around 50 children evaluated and provided therapy and training to every month on an average.
