Designed for the Garo Hills context.
Community-based, scalable programmes that work with the grain of local culture, family structure, and geography across West Garo Hills, Meghalaya.
Early Intervention Programme
Our flagship offering and the foundation of everything we do. Research consistently shows that early intervention during the first five years produces the greatest developmental gains for children with Down syndrome. We provide structured, play-based developmental support during this critical window.
The programme integrates all four pillars of our Early Intervention model: Special Education, Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy, Nutrition, and Clinical Counselling/Parent Support — delivered as a cohesive, child-centred plan.
School Readiness Programme
A structured 12-week programme preparing children for inclusive mainstream classrooms. Covers cognitive readiness, social skills, following multi-step instructions, attention span, and basic pre-literacy and numeracy concepts. Delivered in small groups of 4–6 children by trained facilitators, with weekly parent briefings to reinforce learning at home.
Parent-to-Trainer Model
Our most impactful innovation. Trained parents become certified frontline facilitators who support other families in their own villages. Built on Enable India's framework, this model multiplies our reach without proportional cost increase. Each trained parent supports 5–8 families monthly.
The 6-week certification combines classroom training, supervised practice, and ongoing mentorship from our therapy team. A stipend is available for active trainers who complete a minimum of 5 family sessions per month.
"I became a parent trainer not because I had all the answers, but because I had lived the questions. Now I help eight families in West Garo Hills every month — and each one makes it worth everything."
Rural Outreach Camps
Mobile screening and therapy camps across remote villages in West Garo Hills and neighbouring districts of Meghalaya. Each camp provides developmental assessments, parent orientation, and referral pathways — often the first professional contact a family has ever had.
Capacity Building for Health Workers
Awareness workshops and training sessions delivered to frontline health workers — ANMs, nurses, ASHA workers, and community health workers — equipping them to identify children with Down syndrome early, communicate sensitively with families, and refer to appropriate services.
Our April 2026 programme at the Female Health Worker Training School, Rongkhon trained over 80 health workers in a single session — with practical, culturally sensitive content developed specifically for the Garo Hills context.
