Children from these communities, especially those with complex disabilities, are likely to be left out due to inaccessibility to healthcare and education, and lack of awareness. Our team of trainers and resource persons which include teachers, trainers and foot soldiers like ASHA and Anganwadi workers, collaborate with the local communities and healthcare centres to identify children with disabilities, assess their needs, and bring them into the Perkins system. We meet and teach the children keeping their comfort foremost – be it at their homes, in intervention centres or inclusive schools. We engage responsibly and participate wholeheartedly. We continually invest in our teachers through capacity building.     Perkins India recognises that children  with disabilities can learn and thrive. The path to education begins with the right start in life and access to learning.   Perkins India is making this happen.   ·     We meet children where they are. ·     We begin early. ·     We assess, equip and get them up to speed.   ·     Check out our stories and case studies ·     View our gallery of picture narratives ·     Support our work ·     Spread the word
