Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. Carmel Centre provides special education and training for the intellectually disabled children. Our special educational Programme is designed to develop in our children the basic social and  characteristics using up-to-date scientific techniques. We do give them vocational training in simple jobs suited to their varying degrees of knowledge.In order to provide the children outside exposure and direct community experience we frequently take our children out for picnics, exhibitions, celebrations and competitions

Family Eduacation Program

Parents of the intellectually disabled children, being primary care givers for their children suffer more psychological distress than other members in their families. The father and mother of the intellectually disabled children bear the burden and stress of upbringing an underprivileged child. Since the day-to-day love and affection from the parents and siblings are the primary factor for the development of mentally retarded children, we meet the parents of our children occasionally to discuss the role of the family in the normalization of a mentally retarded child. We visit their homes now and then.
