Education

Spandan School

We call ourselves evolved and modern, but individuals with intellectual disabilities are still not treated as equal. They often find themselves in isolation and are not part of mainstream society. While empathy is seen towards them amongst modern, educated members of society, individuals with a disability still face exclusion from jobs and social life. Individuals from lower socio-economic groups are also seen as a burden on their families due to the inability to secure a livelihood. 
 As a part of making these individuals an able part of society, the Spandan School for Mentally Challenged was incorporated in 1975. What started as a small institution with 5 children has now grown, in 48 years, into an integrated facility covering the needs of approximately 200 individuals with Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome, Autism, Intellectual disability and many more. We aim to provide an education system combined with various therapies such as Speech &amp; Communication, Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy and Sensory integration therapy to all individuals that are enrolled within the institution from time to time. Spandan also strives to make adult individuals groomed and self-reliant to be able to find jobs and earn a livelihood in local industrial settings. Our collective aim is to grow and maintain the institution, and to continue to make a difference in the life of every child and adult with an intellectual disability.  
 With our endeavour, we wish to see every member of Spandan find inclusion in community life. We want every intellectually disabled member to be openly welcomed and included in all aspects of our society. We want these individuals to receive support (in terms of education, therapy, finding jobs, etc) and whatever else that may be required to become part of mainstream society. We want to unburden the parents by being their active partners in the growth and development of their children. We want our adult children to be engaged in meaningful work in an inclusive setting.
