Inclusive living, so that the specially abled have equal opportunity and full participation to lead life integrated with society and have the best chance to lead a better life.....Most definitely a happy one!

A work-cum-activity centre for the specially abled community of young people in a socially conducive, empathetic environment, where they do not feel pressurized or marginalized; a place where they can work with dignity and be contributing members of their family and society.

A full-fledged residential care center with a supportive ecosystem where parents and caregivers can enroll their wards for long-term care.

In 2003, there were very few (if any) places that intellectually and physically disabled youth could go to once they attained 18 years of age. This gap was noticed by some parents whose children were enrolled in Spastic Society of Karnataka, Bengaluru. Once the children turned 18 and graduated from the special school, the parents had no further options to offer them which severely impacted the young adult’s life. With no one to talk to, interact with or learn from, the youngsters were confined to their homes with no future to look forward to. It also severely impacted the lives of their family members who had to care for these young adults round the clock without being equipped or qualified to do so.

A few parents from Spastic Society decided to address this gap and formed the Parents Association of Persons with Cerebral Palsy and Associated Disorders (PAPCP) in 2003. It was started with a group of youngsters who belonged to the high-support group. They had severe neuromuscular disadvantages and needed constant care. Initially, the parents pooled in resources and started a Respite Care Center which was mainly an Activity and Therapy Center where their children could spend time with others like them in a protective environment.
