5TH YEAR THESIS PROJECT Rehabilitation center for children with special needs , Ahmedabad Main reasons why a rehabilitation center for these children is necessary in India •Lack of awareness is rampant in India. •99% common people do not know the meaning and implications of these disorders. •Health specialists are not so equipped with all information related to these disorders. Thus detection and training in most cases get delayed.` •This rehabilitation center is devoted to the following specific issues: Medical, behavioral, developmental, learning, and mental health. So it is a must to have such kind of rehabilitation center in India to spread awareness and to make the life of mentally challenged children and their parents easier in the society. Page - 2
