Children with Disability

Addressing Disability and Inclusion in North Karnataka

Through our continuous engagement with communities, parents and teachers, we recognised the urgent need to support children and young people with disabilities in North Karnataka. Many children with disabilities remain among the most neglected and excluded members of their communities, with limited access to early identification, intervention, education and opportunities for independent living.

Our experience showed that inclusive and child-centred approaches can benefit all children, including those with developmental delays and disabilities. This understanding inspired us to expand our work towards a comprehensive approach to disability inclusion.

Through this integrated approach, we aim to ensure that children and young people with disabilities in North Karnataka are supported to learn, develop, participate and realise their full potential.
