The community at large is often unaware of the potential of children with special needs. In the popular mind, special needs are usually identified with very low expectations. Parent should believe in the value of educating children with special needs. The higher the expectations, the higher will be their acceptance in the family. All the children with special needs must be enrolled in primary schools. After the assessment of their disabilities by a team of a doctor, a psychologist, and a special educator, in schools, the child will be placed in appropriate educational settings.

In 1985 SCD has started a residential disabled school from 1st to 7th standard having all facilities i.e. hostel for boys and girls. Educated and experienced teaching staffs for teaching the students. Till date many students have been passed out from the school and rehabilitated in various livelihood activities. Besides the school we work in the community for education of Children with disabilities
