Hope for Intellectually Disabled children

Hope special school for Intellectually Disabled children had its humble beginning in 2003 with 3 children, 2 volunteers, and a special educator. Now the school caters to the needs of almost 70 children with 15 teaching and non-teaching staff members. Owing to the financial constraints it operates in a small rented building with basic facilities. The dream is to operate in an own building with spacious rooms, play areas and necessary infrastructure.

He was admitted into Hope Special School at the age of 4 and improved in speech. Now he is able to frame sentences, recite thirukural and sing. Also he has shown improvements academically.
