SOCIETY FOR CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SCD)

SCD runs a special school named 'Prabhat' for children with mental handicap. The focus here is in imparting literacy skills and other life skills. The society runs 'Ragudev Vocational Centre' for training young adults with mental handicap for employment.

SCD provides for 'Early Diagnostic Kit' and 'Early Stimulation Kit'. The former is for the early detection of disabilities by paediatricians, rehabilitation specialists and researchers. The kit has been validated by the Department of Paediatrics, LNJP Hospital, New Delhi. While the latter is for the use of parents and professionals for the development of early skills and school readiness skills. The kit has been extensively field tested in the Integrated Child Development Scheme of the Government of India in a project funded by UNICEF.

SCD is also running Yamuna Environment Project initiated by young adults of the vocational centre. The project is concerned about recycling waste temple flowers into colours for holi and hand made paper. SFCD runs the community outreach programmes by training other NGOs to incorporate disability programmes in their existing plans.
